Imagine if they didn't spend 2-3 seasons slashing his ice time for not playing defense. Also imagine if the NHL properly designed itself to promote superstar talents.

 

Hold up there.

 

Superstars can play both ways too, or just D.

Sure they can, but neutering your offensive superstar for the sake of trying to change his game is moronic.

 

Ok, that, I'll agree with.  

 

One of Lindy's faults (and one of the board's faults) was expecting Max to play D, for example.

I love these.  http://www.theplayerstribune.com/ryan-whitney-russia-khl/

 

 

The six other imports are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder: Two Finns. A Swedish kid. A goalie from Czech. A center from Canada. And another defenseman from America.

You remember the scene in Band of Brothers when they send the baby-faced kids out to the front for the first time, and all the grizzled old vets are walking back from two months in the ? That’s exactly what these guys looked like.

Just in complete shock. White in the face. Dazed. Thousand-yard stares. And here I am walking in half way through the season like, “Hey, what’s up, boys?”
