When it comes to play driving Leivo is 4th by xGF% and 1st in CF% ... puck just isn't going in when he's on the ice.
Simon is 9th in play driving ...
Bennett is 13th, Dube 12th.
You need Ryan to center the fourth line when he's healthy given the top three centers.
So last night I wouldn't say he dressed the best roster, or put the best players in the top nine.

I’m usually agreeable with a lot of your posts but I’m not going to be convinced Leivo and Simon are not, at most, our 11th and 12th best forwards.
The players that played in our top 9 last night and Ryan are our top 10.
However, I do agree it’s way too early to proclaim anything about Pelletier.
