I still think Sutter will make a difference. But the lineup has holes that need to be addressed and there are a few players that aren’t competitive enough that will probably have to be swapped out.
From what I’ve been watching
- Gio is too slow and Anderson is starting to cheat on plays to compensate.
- Monahan is like a ghost, matching him with Leivo essentially takes gaudreau out of the game.
- Leivo should be nowhere near the top line.
- valimaki and whoever his partner is are starting to get exposed lately.
Figuring out how to get more out of this lineup will include both line changes and personnel changes in my mind. The flames have a lot of good players but the lineup doesn’t seem to fit together well.
