Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Not sure what our face-off numbers are, but regardless, we lose all the draws that matter.

Bad:
Larkin - whiny, skates around throws the puck to nobody
Perron - looks like he’s in a beer league game, no starting and stopping, sloppy with the puck
Fabbri - wow what a terrible first game back, turnovers and walked around like nothing in the D zone
Husso - has been outplayed handily by Reimer to start the season. Haven’t been impressed by him, although has mostly been fine.

This isn’t solely about the NYR game. Although the entire team looked HORRIBLE in this game. Basically what my thoughts have been the last 5 games, and was funny to see Larkin and Perron get talked up and get 1st and 2nd star after what I had thought was a poor game through 2 periods for them against the Bruins.
Mostly good:
Seider - has been good, what I’ve noticed is he needs to work on his foot speed. Gets beat at least once a game either because opposition is faster to start from 0 or Seider just doesn’t decide to get moving quick enough.
Walman - isn’t perfect but has been our best player
Raymond - has been quite good. Doesn’t have a huge ceiling but I like the way he’s been playing and has been most consistent on his line
Compher - have liked him a lot in the start to his Wings career. Fairly consistent, decent on draws, solid defensively and brings some offence. Would like him a bit more aggressive in the o zone but also realize that he’s defence first oriented which is great.
Meh:
Debrincat - ineffective with Larkin not providing much. Seems to not be finding the puck as often, likely more attention has found him
Sprong - dynamic but also somewhat ineffective

This is more of a recent assessment rather than season to date ratings, and so guys like Veleno who has had a great season to date isn’t included because I don’t have a whole lot to say about his last 5 games good or bad

I started writing this at 1-0 it’s now 5-0. They deserved this.

Here is some lines I’d like to try
