I agree I should have said trash/garbage instead of mediocre because that is what they have been so far. Ryan is useless as a 4th liner. I am shocked Lucic has 2 goals because plays have died on his stick with regularity this year. Nordstrom is useless, regular season Sam Bennett is back to his usual self. I will give Leivo a little more rope since he is coming off a huge injury but he has sucked so far. Backlund should be able to carry a bottom 6 line so I am not sure we need to stuff Mangiapane down there. I want to see a top 6 of
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Gaudreau-Monahan-Dube
