Line Combos: 2024-2025 Powerplay Discussion

[Rapala]

Hutson moves, everybody else stands still. It isn't difficult to understand.

The only other player who moves around is Nick Suzuki but he often has less in his tank than others because he's expected to carry the mail all the time.

Fire MSL bro, and if Kent Hughes don't want to do it, fire Kent Hughes

Fire everybody that has a hand in that historically terrible powerplay

I've been saying this for a while, mainly out of frustration. Clearly, MSL won't be fired anytime soon and neither will HuGo, and honestly, they probably shouldn't be. But the fact that the PP issues have been an afterthought for everyone who's run this team for the past 7 or so years, makes me want to make to beat the shit out of something.

Laine or not. The key to this year's success is whether MSL can fix that PP. he still has enough pieces to do it w/o Laine. If that PP gets us 1-2 goals a game, we’ll be in the

That'd be the best PP in the league by a wide margin. Tampa led with 71 last year(0.87 PPG per game). Edmonton's elite PP had 64 PPG(5th in the league). We had 44 goals last year(24th in the league). If we go from bad to elite it's only a 20 goals swing and moves us from 25th in goals for to 19th. We need far more offense in general, not just the PP.

By simply shooting more it will get the PK moving out of their position, which is good to create further opportunities, and they need to stop attempting so many cross ice, low percentage passes.
