Quoting: SevenLeg
Guys like Newhook, Jarvis, Kaliyev, McMichael, Krebs are having worse seasons than Caufield (or equal at best), but strangely no one is putting them in the "disappointing youngster" category.
I noticed that to
Its the high expectations
I think had Danault stayed he and Gally would be on top line
I think Suzuki and Caufield woulda been used more for OZ scoring then Shut down roles DD had them playing
High Expectations are one thing as repeating what you've done isnt impossible at all
But adding in new roles because you let Tatar,Danault,and Perry leave is just not cool
Playing the high level shut down match ups they handled took Years to develop with Support in atleast 2/3 years to develop (Not sure on Perry)
As you seen those issues get addressed as the season went on and people returned
You seen Caufield start hitting a lot of posts but slowly they started producing points
Then those points grew and now he just seems to be on fire
Those 15 games had to be the longest of his life
He said in an interview its the longest he went without a goal at any level
Credit to him for starting to shake that off on his own
Credit to MSL for helping him get out of his head and back into the game
