A little harsh but I agree with the point. The excuses about new systems, getting up to speed are tiring. So what was training camp and pre-season for? Hockey is hockey, they're all elite athletes in the same league. The Western Conference is not alien to a guy coming over in a trade. It's just as common for a player to excel after a trade in a new setting.
This roster had extremely low turnover. Almost none. The departing players are Schlemko, Diaz, and now Byron. That's it. For just one core player to be injured at the moment, we're doing pretty well health wise, and have no excuse regarding chemistry or systems. FFS Gio shouldn't have to re-learn hockey.
