I’m curious what you think, but to my eye it didn’t seem like Bordeleau really improved on his weaknesses last year much if at all. To me, it kinda seemed like he was trying to lean into his strengths, which aren’t good enough to make an NHL squad alone, rather than addressing his problem areas. Do you agree?
So let's get the first part out of the way. I don't really feel like he improved much on weaknesses. End of the year, his issues were still his play without the puck on his stick, in both zones.
I feel like he makes an attempt at playing defense but just isn't very good at it. In the offensive zone, though, I think he's too passive. And that one seems like something he should've improved on at some point over the course of the year once he got used to playing at this level. That's going to be the one thing worth watching when the season starts. What's Bordeleau doing 5 on 5 when he doesn't have the puck?
