Simple fact is he has never played on a line with as much talent at both center and wing as he has the past two seasons. 1 Quote

Simple fact is he has never played on a line with as much talent at both center and wing as he has the past two seasons. I think Skinner never had a coach who understood how to use him either. Jeff isn't going to be the hardest backchecker on the planet but he is okay defensively and is a pain in the ass in the offensive zone. Let him flow and create while someone else is the first forward back. Quote

He and the rest of the forwards are fortunate to have Granato’s insistence that they play free and unencumbered on offense. He’s the antithesis of Krueger in that regard and it’s not a surprise that so several players are now flourishing in his system. Quote

Skinner, IMO, just had a career year. We’ll have to see which one Tuch, Mitts, Dahlin and Cozens had. Im reasonably certain UPL, Power, Mule, Quinn, Krebs, and Peterka have more to give. Also hopeful Greenway and Levi are additions that will be improvements over the guys they are replacing (Anderson and Olofsson) Girgs, Okposo, Boosh, Joki, Bryson, Stillman, Jost had neither breakout, nor career years. And I expect, at the very least, we will be adding a competent defenceman. Edited June 21, 2023 by dudacek Quote

msw2112 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Posted June 21, 2023 The presence of Levi already makes the goalie room substantially better than it was last year. I also bet that Adams is looking for a veteran goalie to add, but he doesn't want to throw his current guys under the bus, nor does he want to tip his hand to other teams. While it would be interesting for us on a message board to know for sure, he's probably doing his job by saying what he's saying. I also believe that most of the younger guys will improve, some of them by quite a bit. Peterka, Quinn and Power should all show significant improvement based on age, experience, time in an NHL training program, etc. Krebs should also improve with age/experience and Greenway will be better after having a full camp in the Granato system. Cozens will grow, fill out, and improve. Thompson may improve a little bit, if he stays healthy, but he's getting pretty close to his ceiling (which happens to be pretty high), and if the team gets similar production out of Skinner and Tuch, they'll be in good shape. Also, if Mitts plays the way he did down the stretch over the course of an entire season, that should certainly be considered an improvement. They still need to add a gritty veteran defensive defenseman (or 2) - high priority - and a gritty veteran foward - not as high a priority, but would be helpful. Okposo, Girgs, and Jost (if re-signed) bring some of that to the team, although they might not be the most physical players out there. Adams is aware of these needs and I believe he's working on them. 1 Quote
