Description

Based on Athletic article, they suggest that Weber *could* be injured. He plays poorly and doesn't take slap shots anymore :

Shea Weber's slap shot frequency

Through April 3
1.24 per game
Since April 4
0.33 per game (and ugly ones)

It could explain why Bergevin traded for 2 D, and one that can play on PP and take good shots.

If that's the case, the important is being healthy for playoffs. Weber doesn't even help the team right now with his poor play, so sitting him would help the team short term plus in the playoffs

*Caufield could be in the line up for the couple games vs. EDM & CGY. Byron & Lehko were good, maybe rest Perry a few games for Caufield? I'm not in the "**** Drouin" train, he stays in the line up

I was not in the f*ck Drouin before... but after talking with some guys here... they made aware of certain stuff like is patented no-look-back-pass-to-no-one.... It got to my nerve quick and I can't unsee it

If youre playing CC, put him in a position to have success, like on the LW of KK and Anderson. Try Drouin on Danault RW.

I am not part of the trade Danault camp yet he has his issues and my hope is that the coaching staff will iron that out like they have his effort level over the last 1.5 years. He is highly skilled and worth keeping around for his playmaking. That no look pass that set up Kulak was a thing of beauty but his defense and drop passes to no one are frustrating.

He can skate well yet he doesn't use it. Watch the games, he always skates hard to the opponents blue line, then stops. That literally defeats the purpose of your speed if you let the opposition catch up.

Danault. He doesn't deserve more than 4 million a year. Lowry signed for 3.5 million and I'd argue he's more valuable.

I'm sure you meant, Drouin, of course
