Some interesting things in this piece. Not terribly surprising - Krueger was good and gave the youngster some early confidence, Eakins was terrible and didn't bother teaching or explaining anything.

Also, another young important draft pick not confident in English who didn't get a lot of support from the team. The incredible thing with all that is that its not like Yakupov and Puljujarvi are 7th round picks - the team spent very important picks on these players, and then threw them in the deep end and hoped for the best.

We have a poster here who's talked about how these players should be super mature and should just take care of themselves, but the reality is that they're still 18 year olds, they're far from home and lack of comfort with the language can make you feel pretty isolated. It's crazy that apparently the only one who understood that was Darcy Hordichuk!

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
