All of the players are getting moved around.
This is an issue.
Felger and others used to b**** about entrenched lines under Claude Julien and Bruce Cassidy. I agreed, though there were reasons for that.
It's relatively early, but it's not that early. We're past the first third of the season, and no one I know can name the first two lines. Maybe not even lines three or four. And that's because Montgomery changes them up in game on the fly constantly.
I understand the impulse and I largely agree. But at some point you have to set things in a stable direction. That hasn't happened as yet.
I don't like what Montgomery has done with Matt either.
Unfair, but I am not a fan of Jim Montgomery at present.
We'll see.
