Does Meier play on the RW
Also what is his play style
https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/players/timo-meier
Fluctuates. He’s good on either wing but I’d say he’s better with just having a consistent line, which he hasn’t had in years.
I’ve discussed it before and some people have taken what I’ve said too literally when I talk bad about him. Just tryna be objective and not talk all good; but don’t take the bad so bad!
He’s a fantastic play driver, solid 5 on 5 and has a incredible strength on and away from the puck. He’s like Hertl; strong ply driver, who can speed up the ice with soft hands or barrel into a corner and strong arm you off the puck.
His issue is that he:
Doesn’t utilize his whole tool box enough (which is why I think Meier can only get better with age, as he’s just 23/24)
Lack of engagement (mainly due to losing, and not having a consistent line)
Thought process could use some better speed.
So he’s incredibly lethal when he’s on, but when he’s off he’s either going for a free skate or he’s making great ice time but thinking too much or too little. When he’s on he’s a lethal top 3 threat, but when he’s off he’s just a okay/ good third liner.
His issues mainly stem from the lack of engagement and frustration clearly from losing and being a terrible team. That does not mean his attitude is bad or he’s a detriment to the team. But I like to say it’s; when we’ve lost 5 of 6 and we can’t buy a save for our lives, he’s either doing everything by himself (which is often never gonna get you anywhere unless your McDavid or a franchise player) or he doesn’t care enough to have consistent shifts (meaning he’ll have a lethal shift and then if the next shift goes poorly you’ll never know what his next shift is like).
He’s good enough to be like Kane (Evander); a lethal top 6 power forward with speed, hands, shooting ability and a knack for driving play all over the ice and is incredibly talented. But Meier can be even better than Kane.
Which is why I really don’t want to trade him and think whoever we would trade him to would get a steal and make us regret trading him.
