That has little to do with Arvidsson. The entire lineup has been in a blender because players like McDavid, Draisaitl, Nuge and Hyman have been laying eggs and playing like complete trash to start the year. Way too early to make any sense of anything on this roster with the way the season has started.Who was RV playing with tonight. Nuge. KK already getting the impression RV can't be playing with Drai or McD here. Skinner has brought his A game here. Thats good. Wasn't guaranteed that would occur. RV doesn't have an A game left.
Moore and Danault are better EV players than RV is. Would love to have either one of those.
RV has massive PP opportunity in LA. He'll be getting just 2nd unit PP mop up here. How is his situation here better with that? Drai has dropped off EV. Depends who we park with him on the line but RV is not healthy enough or young enough to be on that line. Doesn't have the jam anymore. I'd prefer even Savoie, Lavoie, or Holloway as a third with Drai. We need legs. team is chasing the play too often.
Drai has dropped off even strength because he's played with players like your golden boys McLeod and Foegele who don't belong anywhere near a top 6. Odd that you mention Lavoie as an option when "needing legs". Lavoie would be one of the worst skaters on this team.
For the record I do think Philp and Savoie should get games by mid season on the team to address some of the skating issues.
