This is really the critical element when it comes to Niedermeyer. All the talent was there, but for whatever reason it didn't show through in his play. I don't know how many times I shouted from the stands as he turned away from the puck or made a soft play. At one point I started referring to him as, "The Man who would do Nothing"
It's one thing if a grinder like David Moss walks in and sucks. It's another thing entirely when someone who has all the tools walks in and sucks anyway.
