We aren’t moving to big and fast that’s the issue.
Skating seems to be a constant issue with these new players coming into the league. What you can’t fix is skill. You need skill and hopefully elite skill.
Drafting for size and missing on a more skilled player is a mistake. Big and fast is usually drafted in the top 10.
New Jersey had 3 picks in round 1 in 2020 and took 2 skilled forwards and now are able to dangle 1 in a trade to fix a hole. That’s usually what you can do if you have too many of the same player.
