For me I decided to skip a game or 2 strictly based on was Pelletier in the lineup or not. I also love watching Deuhr play right now. I think both could be the spark that is needed if Sutter finally plays both.
Of course, Pelletier got a bump up the lineup, and they lost 5 to 1.
Hopefully Pelletier gets a look with Huberdeau for a few games. I'd also love to see Kadri and Lindholm flipped. Kadri is great but he does not use his linemates as well as Lindholm.
If this team were to make it, no question Huberdeau needs to be the Huberdeau we thought we had this summer. Lindholm needs to be his center and they need to try a player with speed on the other wing. I wanted Dube with these 2 at the start of the year and we have yet to see that combination with the million different looks Sutter has given us. I think Pelletier could be even a better fit than Dube.
