I like Diaz because of what he does offensively. Loves to unload bombs from the point and consistently hits the net. Also wasn't terrible in other areas of the ice. He deserves that contract if he keeps this up.
Sven is very inconsistent. When he's on his game he uses his skills and awareness effectively, and is a lot of fun to watch. When he's not he seems to just let the play pass him by without doing much at all. Johnny on the other hand is very consistent. That's what I love most about his game. Every single time the puck gets on his stick, or anywhere near him, you know something will happen offensively. He had a couple of amateurish looking plays and botched passes tonight but on the whole was a positive impact for the team. The consistency is why I still think Johnny gets on the roster ahead of Sven. You can't teach consistency, it's all between the players ears.
