Z should be centering a scoring line. We've seen him make magic happen there plenty of times. Playing wing limits his playmaking ability.
At this point it’s Mctavish who should be a wing cause he sucks defensively anyways and has not been effective at all at center this year. Not sure Cronin has the balls to bench or change Mctavish though.Z should be centering a scoring line. We've seen him make magic happen there plenty of times.

Z will never be center here because he doesn't fit the right stereotype of what a center should be according to cronin. mctavish is bigger and mean so he's obviously the better option despite doing nothing but committing penalties. Cronin won't do what's best for his players instead he's forcing them to play in a way that doesn't best suit them.Z should be centering a scoring line.

The problem I see is Verbeek and Cronin both want a team built for the playoffs. Right now we are so removed from any chance of a playoff spot and our players first need to be successful in the NHL.
In this league putting up points is rewarded. Granted, there are great 2-way players out there, but without the offensive numbers, they have little value.
These kids need to find their offensive game first. Without an offensive threat we will always be pressured as there are no consequences.
We either have the wrong Mgmt or the wrong players. Either way it is not working and there is little to suggest it will.
