If management starts making decisions like this, revoke my Canadian citizenship and take Marchand and Wilson with me please.

There was this same report floating around before 2022 that he was going to make that team too. I get that the management wants to recreate the 2010s team that had physical, north south, forechecking wingers, but the drop off in ability to Tom Wilson or Adam Lowry (who I would assume would play wing) is astonishing.

I’m not saying they take the 12 top scorers on the forward group and call it a day, but for god sakes take someone like Verhaeghe or Lafrenière if you want for hard forechecking wingers. Having to stick to a philosophy that does not apply to the current pool of players will get them destroyed
