The frustrating thing is that in the preseason game in Edmonton they played Wolanin-Desharnais as the top pairing and they had a fantastic game against a loaded Oiler squad. That pairing worked with Desharnais able to defer to Wolanin to move the puck.
Then we go back to Forbort there and Forbort is so awful with the puck on his stick that Desharnais has to be the guy trying to transition it ... and it doesn't work at all.
I’ve seen a lot of suggestions of getting Friedman in, but I wonder if having one of Wolanin or Brannstrom up to pair with Desharnais so one of them can move the puck might not be a better idea.
