I want everyone to sign up

Church of Kakko

How sick is this....

If he's a bust, that's why.

Brayden Point led the league in PPG playing the bumper spot and guys like Bergeron and Scheifele are very productive goal scorers from the bumper on the PP too. I have to agree with SA16 that he should be on the 1st unit because ice time is the biggest thing regardless of role.

As for the Kakko thing, I could see that too. John Tavares and Kuznetsov, two good puck handlers, play down low on their teams PPs.I could see Kakko and Kravtsov interchanging like Backstrom and Kuznetsov do on WSH’s PP to break down the PK, if they slotted them like you have it.

Lots of talent and things to do with it on the PP so good problems to have like you said.

I would put Kakko by the goal line, and Buch/Kravtsov on the wall which can interchange like you mentioned with what Washington does, Zib in the bumper. I think we see Kreider on the 1st unit though with Kakko on the wall.

Panarin has played the point on the pp as well, I dont see much of an issue in having them both on the top unit.

This was my biggest concern with bringing in panarin. They’d move Mika off that soft wing on the pp. it’s a mistake. Mika is a better shooter than panarin. But this is an issue. I’d move panarin to the other wall and put Buchy in the bumper spot. I don’t like taking Mika off that wing.

Why do people think you can't score from the slot? Having a shooter there's fantastic.

It's only an issue if it's the only shooter, or the primary shooter. But that wouldn't be the case.
