I'm not sold on either. But is he a great coach?

Neither is Bryson. We need a defenseman

When I watched olofsson back check by getting to within a sticks length of the forward and feebly stick checking while stopping skating only to have the ensuing goal against thankfully disallowed, I knew in that moment.

I'll put the over under for olofsson at 22.5 goals and I'll take the under.

The bucs? Really

I don't think he'll get 30 goals this year.

Was gonna defend him but, yes he's looked like garbage today.

Trading a top 5 defender for a top 5 defender is counter productive

Name something other than his one timer he brings. Being a 7th round pick is totally irrelevant to anything. It isn't about mistake free hockey, it's about him not contributing in other aspects of hockey accept that one timer, by next year if not before we can move on.

You let me know when olofsson figures it out.

I took his body language as "are you kidding, that's the one that goes in? Whatevers"

Jokes on you, I have no nose.

I like Krebs and am surprised he hasn't figured it out yet. That said, there's 4 first round picks right behind him to replace him if he doesn't pan out. Kulich, Savoie, Rosen, Östlund

... think you're forgetting Dahlin's first seasons. 40pts in 56 games in year 2 and 44 in 82 year 1. Power is pacing for 37pts. Now yes, points aren't everything and Power has a more refined defensive game, but Dahlin before Krueger was fantastic.

Yup. Tage Thompson shouldn't be on pace for 52g and 102 points. It defies all logic... and math.

Tom webster seeing this

Feel like there's a competing thread....

Actually I want to add. Last night I noticed how bad olofsson is on defense. He won almost no battles and then I see Quinn who is just so smart with how he engages another player. He does things like prepare the space and has anticipation for how that player might try and retain possession. The half wall lost night he just kept winning battles. Olofsson by contrast just sticks his stick in and hopes. What I'm saying is Quinn attacks the puck carrier with a purpose but olofsson just goes and hopes.

Quinn is very effective in his own end. Another 20lbs of muscle and he'll be even more effective.

Woops, meant defender

3 goals were disallowed for the Devils

Adams needs to find another top 4 defender
