Lewis doesn't cough that puck up right into the middle the way Coleman did. No argument that Lewis isn't a top 6 forward, but thinking of team composition in both end of the rink matters.
The coach can manage with one off wing winger in the top 6, but two is way too risky. Much rather see a strong top 9 than an overloaded top 6 with that deficiency built into your lines.

I don't agree on the off wing thing. I think it opens up the ice to see their own defenseman and avoid the blindspot of the pinching opposing dmen. Plus it allows you to see your center without having to look back when the opposing dman is coming in on you.
He made a chip pass that hit a skate.
