Put Eriksson on the 2nd line with Pearson and Horvat. Yay or nay?

thats not really the case tho. On 5 on 5  line combo's with Bo+Pearson and EP+Goldy Loui had 10 pts, which was 38% of his ice time. On the other 8 bottom 6 line combos he was on, he has 9 points. So he can produce at a higher rate on the top 6. 

 

If that top 6 production holds, and some scoring off the 2nd unit PP, he might get to 40 pts.

Wow, you mean he puts up more points playing more minutes with better team mates? Wow!

I suggested he was a failure in the top 6. 40 points is not top-6 material.

well, it may have to be on this team next year. The OP is talking about working with what we have. Who else is going to top 40 pts in that spot on todays roster? 

 

And 40 pts is in 2nd line scoring territory, which is what that line would be.

If Loui is still in our top 6 next year, all coaches and management should be fired on the spot.  Aren't we supposed to move forward and improve?  Pearson and Loui both in our top 6 = another bottom 10 finish

Don't lump Pearson in w Loui. Pearson had 9 goals in 19 games that's a 40g pace.   I don't expect him to score 40 next year but if he can score 25 that would put him right up there with EP28g Bo27g BB26g. A spot in the top 6 right now is Pearsons to loose.
