I believe we also need to use his particular skills better. His dangles and creativity are off the charts, we need to let him play more like zherdev instead of thinking hes going to learn to play defense like betts n lappy

Bingo. Stop trying to change the player that he is. The guy is working his ass off, he's not the best defensivly, but god damn he's trying. I'm fed up of people calling him out for being lazy, or not back-checking. There is a difference between being lazy, and not trying. Zherdev has played very well in the last 3 games, and yet he's on the fourth line. Give me a break
