Ya Chiasson is a good net front guy. The problem is that is all he really brings. He slows his line down 5 on 5 and really brings nothing you want in your bottom 6. A coach not panicking about losing his job would not have Chiasson on PP1 without other guys who can score at will like McDavid and Draisaitl

Is Pettersson not the same player we expect him to be?

#FREEHORVAT He is underrated offensively and overrated defensively. Should be 1C on this team with EP and Garland on his wings. -

Chychrun is suffering from a team that is complete garbage. Even if OEL was still there they would be just as $&!#ty as they are now and he would be struggling. I can’t remember ever seeing a $&!#tier nhl team. -

No that’s King. Baumgartner is the D and PK. Shaw is more an associate coach. -

Hughes has been much improved defensively. I think someone (likely Shaw) has been teaching him how to use all the things that make him an elite offensive player (skating, passing, vision, etc) on the defensive side of the ice. I don’t expect him to be a top defensive defenseman. If he consistently does the above though it’s more than good enough without sacrificing his offense too much. Always felt that’s what he needed. As much as we hate Duncan Keith, that’s exactly what Keith did to become an elite level two way dman. -

The only people who want to fill the team with two way players as a goal are Benning and Green. If EP, Podz, Boeser, etc can simply outscore their defensive flaws that’s a win for the team. -
The problem isn’t so much that they don’t have a threat there. It’s that they have completely abandoned even pretending it might be an option or a threat. If you watch how teams PK against us, it’s absolute bush league coaching that could allow an opposing PK unit the opportunity to cheat that much to limit one option and effectively shut down the whole pp. A few years back, one timers and snipes were threats from both sides. That’s a huge difference now. They need both sides and a potential shot from the point to be considered options by the pk. And they need to move around to pull guys out of the box.
