The PP does need some re-jigging though. I'd like to see a first unit with Gio and either Hamilton or Jankowski on the point/high slot areas, Gaudreau, Monahan and Ferland up front. People have been clamoring for Stone on the point because of his shot, but, while it's super hard, he misses a fair bit (did a self-zone-exit last night). It hasn't gotten through that much. He can go to the second unit - Brodie and him on the points, Backlund, Bennett and Jagr/Frolik up front.

No pp time for Tkachuk?
