This doesn't even quantify their talent in offensive production, which I also think is sub-standard.
So, it's not only less time for guys like Jooris, it's a return to the mindset of "worry what they are doing" vs. "focus on out scoring the opponent". This mindset is why we're setting land/Speed records in 3rd period scoring.
I don't want our kids adjusting their game to be more like them, to crack the lineup.

It's not that your opinion on being worried about chemistry is a bad point, it's not. But you package your arguments and thoughts up in such ridiculous fashion it's hard not to disagree with everything you say.
Backlund and Stajan part of the "old gard", the old way of thinking? Backlund is a youngish player still, who had his best season last year in the "new" way of thinking. Stajan and Brent's troubles were very well documented, not exactly a player that is left over still trying to do things the way they were done in the Brent Sutter era.
