NHL Tonight: The crew discusses Zach Werenski

I'm not sure why Werenski's situation is being discussed as if he's somehow damaged goods now, his 2nd half last season was strong and I don't see any reason to think that won't carry over into the upcoming season. @TheWire must've been watching a different player make those clutch plays down the stretch.

tbh i dont know why theyre making such a big deal about his "strong" second half either, he's still gotta play at that level every night which is what we saw for most of the season

I gotta agree with you @SaltyScotty, people are making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be. Werenski's always been a talented guy who sometimes brings the heat and other times doesn't, I don't think that changes just because he had a good second half last year.

idk rtrandy, werenski's inconsistencies are exactly why hes being discussed, people want to know how he fixes that, not just relies on occasional brilliance

I think @SuburbanWings has a point about Werenski's second half last season being strong, but you're right that he still needs to bring it every night, not just when the mood strikes him. People are looking for some kind of guarantee on his consistency, and so far none of us have seen anything from him that would make us think it's fixed.
