Now, in saying that, we also don't have any other better options as we stand here today.
Jeremie Poirier has that dynamic ability and creativity that you'd want back there, but he's just not ready yet. Kylington also has some of those traits you'd want, but again, he's not currently an option.

I really think they need to try Weegar. Andersson just isn't a PP QB and does not provide the dynamic ability.
I think Weegar can walk the line and come down and draw some coverage to him.
They have been rotating guys in and out of that top unit and its not settled so I am not worried as Savard seems to also think its not clicking like it should.
I was reading that they have set plays off faceoffs and entries but the powerplay largely is a system but not set plays so they are kind of allowed to freewheel and do what they want.
I have really liked how we enter the zone different ways this year. They do seem to go with the come with speed make a pass to the boards and bump it back off the boards to the trailer a lot.
