A few days ago someone said here that Podz needs to play with better linemates. I don't agree
I think there's a little bit of "hero-worship" in him; in that he'll often make an intercepted pass to Petey, Kuznetsov or JT where a shot would have been the better option. He's got a great shot and needs to defer to no-one.
Putting him with gritty, puck-retrieving linemates means that he's the sniper on the line and will be counted on to take the shot - maybe that's Bruce's plan?
