I didn't know much about Rieder so I paid attention to him during his shifts last night.
He looks like James Neal without the puck. Lost. Skating around. Also reminded me of James Neal with the puck, fumbling and on the verge of panic mode. Not making good decisions. Hanging on too long or trying to force a low % pass.
Now maybe he has to learn the system but the other guys looked much better positionally than he did but watching him made me scream hard pass.
DSP and Rinaldo weren't bad. I could see one or both making a case.
