In regards to Mason Raymond, I've been trying to put a finger on what it is that I don't like about his game.
I think tunnel vision describes it quite well. When he gets the puck, I don't see him as a triple threat; is he going to shoot, pass or skate with it? It seems like he gets the puck and his intentions are instantly clear. There's no shiftiness. I rarely see Raymond look like he wants to shoot and then pass, or look like he wants to pass and then shoot.
He's like a quarterback who always looks at the receiver he wants to pass to. He's got a great set of skills but other players are able to keep the opposition guessing.
