2) The players who do compose those possession problems are still on the roster and will continue to get playing time over stronger possession players. That's a problem and fixing it will go a longer way than throwing money at UFAs.
3) Named stronger possession player who gets called "inconsistent" yet produces consistently better possession, averages significantly more PK time than the players who are being favored ahead of him in the lineup which is a big source of possession problem (though that's only at forward, problem also existed at D but the solution found there made much more sense dollar for dollar). For an inconsistent player does pretty much everything on the ice better than Brandon Bollig except pick fights with other team's goons.
That's it. I'm done with this topic.

Bollig, Wolf, Jones, Colborne, Engelland and banged up Ferland and Bouma actually set the conditions that Gaudreau could step on the ice and play his game AND not have Hartley worried about his career ending against the Ducks.
