Ever since Romani and Pazil went down in Erie they had to move A.Leblanc to center the second line and have been rotating players every game to fill the left side. A.Leblanc is no centerman , he only wins 33% of his draws and is lazy at times. Does one to two wraparounds per game instead of passing the puck in the slot. Cares more about offensive zone possession stats. The only replacements they have are Laird, Richter or Long and none of them are that quality to play against the other teams top two lines . As for wingers, it’s been a revolving door or Laird, Tesholm, Smith , Ammo and now Checkerov who went outside three times on an odd man Rushes in the Windsor game. So until they get a better Centerman and fill that left winger roll this is the line you have playing against other teams first and second lines. When Romani comes back, that’ll push Pro down to the second line centre or it’ll move Vanstensal to fill the centre position on the second line. The line is destined to fail because the lack of depth but seems the coaches are content to ride it out till team is healthy.
So really the plus minus stats are all subjective that’s why people go to the game to watch.
