Is it as simple as having one good offensive guy and pair him with a defensive defender?
Is it putting a younger player with a vet?
What about a shutdown pair, is it always as easy as putting the two most defensive minded guys together?
There's some great pairings in the league, Toews-Makar probably the gold standard. Bouchard-Ekholm is an interesting one as individually they're obviously skilled but they fill in the gaps to each other's games so well. Hughes-Hronek definitely up there and McAvoy-Lindholm have had some dominant stretches.
what are some other good pairings and why do they work?
what are some bad pairings and why do they not work?
