Quoting: Whalers7997
If Holtz is going, I want defense back. Preferably Middleton or some other LD
Vitek has been quietly acceptable recently.
Early in the year we were playing elite hockey with awful goaltending, then injuries piled up.
And specifically since the 2nd hughes injury the devils have just been playing worse.
Early in the season we'd dominate play, shots, chances, etc and vitek would give up 2 back breakers and lose it.
Now we're hemmed in our own zone way more, controlling play less, and getting flat out outplayed way more often than we did early in the year.
4th line needs to improve. PK needs to improve. I like the PP with jack back way more but still would like a slightly different scheme.
Better puck movement from our D is needed.
Trenin and Pettersson would go way further towards fixing this team than a goalie.
Vitek has been basically at an even GSAx since the end of november. Been +ve since the new years.
