[One Horse Town]

This team should be much better on the PP.

People aren't going to like this... but IMO the PP units will function better if Kane and Tarasenko get swapped. Let the former Hawks re-live their glory days on PP2. If Ray is going to be the dual-threat passer/shooter on the left side we need an absolute gunner on the right. Can't have both sides be playmakers.

Compher
Ray - Larkin - Tarasenko

Ras
DBC - Berggren - Kane
Gustafsson

PP2 is a shorty waiting to happen, but we don't really have much else to play with atm. They can have like 20-30s per PP.

I agree with this, but still the biggest problem is the lack of net front presence. Give us one Chris Kreider or Holmström-lite, and the PP becomes instantly effective. They don't even play with the screener on the mind nowadays, and that makes it weak in general.

It's had some good looks. Would love Kasper in over Compher though.

If only we had a top 10 pick in Grand Rapids with a real knack for battling around the net.

Missing Perron badly so far

Larkin needs to be bumper and we need to get him the puck in there

My biggest gripe is they are often sloppy with zone entries and through the neutral zone…. But it’s also been 3 games…. Lots of room for it to get better.
