Marner looks awful out there
Maybe flip him with Nylander and try to get everyone going
lol... maybe... we all know it won't happen.

I honestly think he should be moved down to 3rd center. I would love to see Spezza have a shot at centering that line with Nylander and Hyman.Imagine being the $11M captain of a marquee team and not being able to impact the game and be a difference maker?
As I said, a slump for McDrai is 2-3 games. Not 10+.Funny to see the people who were awfully quiet in our last 3 games against Edmonton when McDavid and Draisaitl were absolutely useless and invisible are coming out in full force tonight.
How many players have a good shot?Rielly has the worst shot on the team
This is honestly what they should run with for a few games.Keefe really needs to separate Matthews and Marner. Run with
Galchenyuk-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Mikheyev-Engvall-Simmonds
Kerfoot-Spezza-Thornton
Meh, Edmonton has 20 mill on 2 players and they seem to score alright. Maybe our big boys need to do what they are paid to do.They could barely score on OTTAWA'S fifth string... FIFTH STRING... goalie.
I just think this is a horrible way to build a team. Half the cap on 4 forwards. If they all aren't at or about leading the league in points, the team folds.
The Columbus series wasn't a glitch. It wasn't "ran into a hot goalie". It's that teams are figuring out how to shut down our "elite" forwards.
Our stars were amazing during late-start covid pond hockey. Now that we're back to nhl hockey, we're seeing all the same signs.

Everyone here was pretty forgiving when our "elite core" were slumping 2 or 3 games. We're at 10+ now.
They went through it last year vs Columbus. They went through it the entire last half of the season the year prior.lol because anyone with common sense understands this isn't going to be something they go through for the next 4 seasons.
Load up PP, no Jumbo Joe. Put Willie in there.
You do realize that both McDavid and Draisaitl are among the best in the league at those "garbage" stats right?
