Robertson is really quite brilliant he is not only an assassin when scoring but also has same amount of assists which is an under appreciated part of his game , he also steals pucks on a regular basis in the attack zone . Totally agree that Steel is not a top line player and should be in fourth line . I would swap Cody Eakin for him every time . Eakin had a 22 goal year a 19 goal year and two 16 goal years . Steel no where near this
The Steel thing is baffling. The eyeball test is lost time and time again. And what a perfect spot to give some young guys a chance.
As much as I hate Robo being left off USA squad, and I do want to see a medal from that group, I wish none of our players were playing. Too much hockey over the last four years. I would love to see full tanks heading into stretch run.
Thanks for the summary. And I totally agree on your « peanut gallery » comment. That stuberdness of keeping Hands of Steel on the Top six is looking more and more like malpractice. The guy is such a perfect bottom six player.
And Robertson IS our best forward. So pay the man as we would lose any trade we make if Nill makes a Guerin out of himself.
I worry we will keep seeing steel-duchene-Johnston now and 96 staying with 21-24. So now Johnston’s game will wither while he drags around steel and a still
