He’s too cool to play defense. Isn’t that obvious?
Mitcheeeey
He’s not the elite superstar a lot of people make him out to be.

Will Adidas be offering this jersey color or is it all fanatics now?

I’m a Ducks fan and I don’t like him. I’m glad he got benched. He’s full of himself.

Between this move and the Leo Carlson healthy scratches at some point you have to entertain the idea that they are straight up tanking for lotto balls.

Definitely top 5 most overrated player in the league. His hilite real goals in the past and being NHL 23’s poster boy are to blame.

Ducks fans deserve better. Butterface cunt, made nhl 23 loadscreen a warcrime. Member that install, fucking short clip? Made me do fentanyl again. Now I’m homeless, broke, and can’t buy nhl 24, so now I’m stuck with this fucking wet fart aswell. You should murk that mf and free up some cap space. That’s my thought.

When you put a kid on the cover of NHL ’23, you should expect this. He’s flashy, but hasn’t proved he plays a 200ft game

At least he’s getting paid millions for his lack of effort benched or not. If anyone did that shit in any normal hourly job they’d be reprimanded, sent home without pay and/or fired. He better shape up if he wants teams interested. Some of these guys don’t know how well they have it.

Gotta earn it. Some lessons are harder to learn than others.

I’m okay with him disappearing like the many many many talented players before him.

I thought he was receptive to Cronin’s teaching him defense?
LaruePDX
it’s no secret he’s a defensive liability.
in-dog_we_trust
He scores a few flashy goals. So what? He’s a center with a 40% win rate? Nylander has a better win %.
Give me a slow dependable player over flash and no substance any day.

I had a feeling he was going to be a problem on the team. He missed two weeks of training camp because of contract issues and that put him behind the rest of the team. He’s one of those guys, know what I mean?

I think that the duck’s system is slowly ruining him cause he thinks that he’s better than the team. regardless of how true that is he’s developing an attitude problem.

The Islanders have decided to abandon defense maybe they can trade for him and lower the teams age a bit, win-win 😂

Seems like a lot of skill guys come in hot, have a career year early and then regress 20-30 points and that’s what you get. I feel like Eberle is a good example of this.
They also just had a tough contract negotiation so maybe the leash is shortened.

But he can do the Michigan move! /s

So him and McDavid are playing the same so far?

It’s kinda hard to score points when you line mates don’t score goals lol
As for the defence, you didn’t draft him to play defence, he has never been and likely never will be that player. That’s again what his linemates are for.
This won’t make it better, what will is making your coaches do their job and adapt the line up to solve your problems.
