His game fell off in the playoffs with Washington, right before Bergevin signed him
That signing signified how lost this management group was. Way behind the curve, and letting character trump everything.... We're now paying for the terrible moves Bergevin has made defensively.
I will give Bergevin some credit, because he is making up for some of his mistakes, but the true issue with this team is that there are no puck movers. Petry is solid when he's moving his feet, but his passing is sub par, next would be maybe Reilly....
Not having defense who can stretch a pass, makes it so much tougher for a speedy forward group.
