Apparently it does when Kaprizov is one of your forwards... Gus with a .948 save percentage on the season doesn't hurt either! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I didn't think that last year Hunt struggled. He did try to run PP2 and this was a struggle. I thought this was probably outside of his wheelhouse, and that Chisholm is a better fit there. But, Hunt was a rookie. Rookies learn, and what looks like struggle is just part of the process. He got ally ooped a couple of times in the Boston game. That will happen to a rookie defender who hasn't seen such moves before. That's not struggle, that's learning. He didn't recover as smoothly as hoped, but I think he learned from the experience. Next time he sees that move, I assume he'll be better. On a little different front: Does it look like Faber and Chisholm have gained a bit of strength? Faber especially looks a little bigger, but had 0 trouble tying up Winnipeg players behind the net. Chisholm I saw in preseason looking a little more stable in the contact area. To me, Hunt also looks stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi is playing great so far and a ppg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much for someone that has been compared to Panarin to Kaprizov to Kucherov to Malkin to Fedorov? I think i'd take a chance on him if at all possible.

Definitely added some strength but just being by harder to play against. Looked very noticeable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's all you're basing the suggestion on, it's poor reasoning and too much to give up. I agree that Yurov is an unknown at this point and only hyped potential, but Michkov is the same sort of unknown right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
