Re: Tyler Kennedy getting some love
I skimmed that previously this morning. It didn't seem to account for why Tyler Kennedy drives NHL coaches mad. But again, I didn't give it a thorough look because I know TK's game inside and out, obviously...most of us here do...

Re: Tyler Kennedy getting some love
Particularly agree with this:
TK’s problem in Pittsburgh was because he got away from the game that made him successful in the 09 run. After he scored 20 goals the one year where everyone was hurt and he ended up moving way up the lineup, he suddenly thought he could be an NHL sniper, which isn’t what he’s successful at. He got away from the speed, grinding, and wearing people down and became almost a perimeter player.
He also never seemed to mesh with Brandon Sutter, scoring 6-5-11 in 46 games during the lockout year. That’s not acceptable for a guy who is supposed to be around the .4-.5 PPG pace.

Re: Tyler Kennedy getting some love
Kennedy being on Sutter's right diminished the good looks he got compared to being on Staal's right. Also, Sutter had no idea where Kennedy was going to end up because Kennedy had no idea where he was going to end up. Sutter's cerebral game and Kennedy's work, work, work game never did line up.

Kennedy and Staal work. Kennedy and Sutter were toxic. Kennedy and everyone else is a big question mark.

Re: Tyler Kennedy getting some love
I'd rather have Adams or Sill in the line-up over Kennedy.
