Gio was good tonight, but he's not what he used to be.

Yeah Nesterov isn't a fit on the powerplay for sure.
Keep in mind that under Sutter that's Noah Hanifin's spot, but that's sort of irrelevant as I don't see him as an offensive defenseman.
But honestly I see this more as a Sutter issue in construction as he's back to the two dmen on the top unit (sometimes both units), and how many teams have three/four guys that should be on the powerplay?
Which I guess brings us back to the forwards again. Are they so thin that they have to use three or four defensemen instead of two?
