The Simon and Leivo signings are failures so far. Yes we’re only 6 games in but both those guys have had ample time with Johnny/Mony and they collectively have 1 secondary assist and are -2. We need either a legit 2nd line center to slide Lindholm back on their wing or an actual top 6 RW. I like your lineup though. Best part, no Lucic. To the defense I would add:
Ras-Hanifin
Tanev-Gio
Kylington-Mackey
Valimaki needs to sit a game. He hasn’t been good to start this year and even Johnny was healthy scratched early in his career and responded very well. Nesterov had a really bad pinch and has looked pretty pedestrian. I know you can’t expect too much from the 3rd pair but why not let 2 hungry guys come in and see if they can earn/steal a spot.
