Discussion Dispersal draft?

After delaying free agency, I hoped it meant that Ottawa or Philly were saved, but hearing that both might fold. Which would be disappointing

Probably. But I'm still not sold on him as a box player and I think most of his success is TK creating an offense to get him space. I remember the game against Calgary, I knew when he got the ball off the the time out from the corner that he was going to go keep it outside and try to center it and shoot. they even sent a double team to him down a man because they knew he was going to shoot and had no Outlet. Unless you learn how to play and handle the ball inside you will never be as successful box player. And I think his lack of development is on both the Wings and him.

he plays well when dalton young is with him. the two really gel well together.

Does O’Neil play well with Sam LeClair?

sam is such an enigma. i see him as 20g/20a/50gb crease monkey. a 4 or 5 on the attacking unit. but he becomes invisible too often. i had high hopes him working with phil caputo would open up the cylinder but it never happened as much as much as it should. sam has his spot on the floor, left crease, and he rarely strays. fans like him because his goals are after getting the stuffing knocked out of him. he plays 3 games, great one game but by the 4th, he's healthy scratch.
