Not Durzi on the left. He should play right side only and he's susceptible to pressure especially down low. He tends to make risky passes, doesn't mark his man or tie up sticks and he coughs up pucks. Hopefully he works on things over the summer but ... smh. Not on the left plz.
I included him because I liked the flexibility, un-sheltered minutes and the logjam in LA. I'll admit to being a big hyper focused on entry defending and zone exiting rather than the in-zone stuff. I will include him in a project for the right side as well but thought he deserved a look since he switched over already.
I can't tell you how many times Daryl Evans said "Durzi made a bad decision." Dennis Bernstein calls him "high risk high reward". He runs the power play but should be a third pair defender imo. His play is not great for playoffs but maybe he can grow idk. He was kept on the left far too long last season imo. Getting Gavrikov finally stabilized the left side some. The RD log jam on LAK is very real. Somebody who wants RD should call them up.
