In a teammate..?

Question

Would you rather have:

-Can almost always score on demand. A player with a lot of raw talent, lots of speed, great hands, nice shot, but doesn't pass much. Takes some shifts off and almost never hustles off the ice. Doesn't always make the right decisions, but sometimes it works in their favor.

-A grinder type. Doesn't have much speed, has a pretty good shot, ok hands, pretty good passer, pretty smart too. Somewhere in the middle grounds with goals and up towards the top in assists. Always hustles back on D and to get off the ice. Never takes a shift off, usually makes the right choice, but sometimes doesn't have the talent for the play to work out.

Answer 1

2nd choice

Answer 2

a grinder

i have played with my fair share of both types and i would rather have a grinder who will not be able to score but will backcheck and stop a goal than a talented player who scores alot but will not skate unless theyre on a breakaway

Answer 3

If you combine the good things about both of those descriptions you get Alex Ovechkin

Answer 4

I'll take 20 grinders whom you know are gonna show up every night, give it there all each and every game and play as a team!

Answer 5

Since a line has 3 players I would have both, but for a dynamic duo I would choose #2

Answer 6

grinder

Answer 7

uh... i'll go with a grinder type

Answer 8

Depends on the needs of my team and how we work

Answer 9

offence wins you games, defence wins you championships...

gotta take that person who isnt the liability on D, but you can't turn down a pure goal scorer. So it depends whos on the team

Answer 10

On a perfect team, I would want a combination of both but between the two, I'll take the first one because in the end, the goals are what count the most and I would want/need someone who could score and get the job done.

Answer 11

All depends on what my team needs.  In a perfect world i would have a team of the second type of guy with one or two of the first.
