Uh... we went into the playoffs the last two years with Grella as a starting winger and last year with Muyl. Sure both year's we added a player over the summer, but Marsch was more than comfortable going into the postseason with guys that hadn't been hot in months. In 2016 Grella's case, it was over a year.
If either Grella or Muyl score a couple of times the next few games, we could sign a Piatti, but he'd be on the bench.
No... If Piatti was here, he'd be starting.
Marsch threw Freddie right into the fire. The comparison you are drawing on is Veron and he just sucks. ANd I'm happy that Marsch just doesn't throw him out there because a lot of coaches do that (in all sports) purely based on what he makes.
The point was that once Marsch commits towards something, he's not just going to flip on it because of a goal or two by a couple of guys. Plus i think Marsch realizes that Sacha is finished being a really high end player too. I've seen some people try to blame it on Dax being gone, but I was here after game 1 saying he didn't look the same physically. He moves and runs like an old man now. He's seen his athletic drop off and it's hurt his play as it should.
