Adam Foote’s system is set up for intelligent and fast D-men. The young guys are getting cratered

One of the big things is obviously, you know, the the injuries are playing a role here. They’re down some of their best penalty killers. They lost. You know, Pousuda was one of their better penalty killers. Um, obviously trading JT last year impacted their overall game, but also like Adam Foot, you know, he has the team running kind of like an offensive read like or defensive read setup, right? So, they’re they’re playing manto man off the rush and it’s like d up how you want and how you feel and it’s, you know, taking some time for these guys to really get a hold of that. And I think that that’s that’s set up for players that have like really high intelligence and great skating and Quinn Hughes can thrive in that. You know, maybe Marcus Person at his best can play at that level. Maybe Philip Prona can, but I think overall, especially when you have two young guys like Vlander and and Elas Patterson, the defenseman on that blue line. And you can see like when you look at their analytics, like both those kids are are kind of getting created a little bit underwater defensively, too. It’s a tough system to be in to play in like that if you’re not an experienced super intelligent player. And I think we’re seeing that too, right? And that’s just at five on five.

“Adam Foote has them playing a man-to-man defence off the rush that’s set up for players who are very intelligent and have great skating…the young kids are getting cratered a little bit”
