We see now regularly Benny and Monny on the PK. We even saw Lucic in the dying seconds of a pk last time.

So it's like he knows the pieces are there, that they do GAF but lack confidence because they are paralyzed by ????

The pandemic? Not all athletes respond the same way in these troubled times.
Family issues?

One of Darryl's best attributes is that he really wants to know you not only as a hockey player but as a human and this is where he will eventually unlock what is ailing some (or most) of our core group.

If he did not think he had something worthy in this group, why would he have accepted the job?
