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 just really can't understand what they're trying to do with Andersson and his positioning on the powerplay. I was expecting changing to Savard that Muller's PP Andersson from last year would be scrapped but he's still never in a spot to be able to get a quick shot off, and he's at bad angles to make passes. He's no scoring threat so it just makes it nearly 4 on 4.
