Default Why has Gaudreau been demoted from Team NA top line?

He's their top scorer thus far. McDavid Bias much?!!!

He didnt seem to mesh well with McD and Eichel in the 2nd game. I dont think its a big deal.

McDavid likes to control the play and turn up the tempo. Gaudreau likes to control the play by slowing things down. Not much chance of the two working together well.

What are you talking about? Whatever line Gaudreau is on is the top line.

You should be asking why McDavid and Eichel got demoted from Johnny's line.

And its because McDavid is No Good and Eichel smells of Buffalo.

Some of the best young players in the game, the idea of one true top line is foolish. Don't worry about it.

So then McDavid and Eichel should go down the lines as they've been so unproductive thus far. Top line should be Gaudreau-Mackinnon-Drouin/Larkin

Was just about to post what Locke said.

Whatever line Johnny's on is the top line.

better question is how do they get McDavid and the 2nd line going?

Well this certainly will hurt his side in contract negotiations!

Todd McClellan likes feeding the Gaudreauvertime troll thread.

Look at the roster. There are four top lines. The coaches should be using the preliminary games to try different combos and see what works.

Who cares? I just want to see McDavid continue to suck. Hopefully Gaudreaus timing keeps improving.

I think you might need to go out and get some real problems to worry about.

Johnny will score more away from McDavid, and also on the 2nd PP unit.

The same reason Phil Kessel was demoted to the 3rd line and Patrick Kane/Vladimir Tarasenko play on their teams' 2nd lines.

Because the cake is a lie.
