Based on what you’ve seen from him, you really think he is all of a sudden turn things around? You’ll be waiting a long time to see the same old Timo. He’s a very limited player , a glorified banger.
He’s not a play driver that makes his teammates better - like Dougie Gilmour was as a Devil.
Dougie was great here except when he took the cross check from Messier to his face in 97 and didn’t fight back.
Why do you think he’s regressed? You seem to admit he was good in San Jose…so what’s the difference now?
Again, injuries. No clue if the injuries will linger for him or if he’ll be ever be completely healthy. Also, Lindy is playing him on the 3rd line…in his off side. Play him at his natural position like the sharks did and like where he played last year. That could probably help
