Bettman's hammer
Not quite sure what you mean by that, but if Maurice doesn't want those 5 against McDavid, then don't put those 5 on the ice together. Edmonton can't force them to put Myers/Kuli with CWL.
Also Maurice has already said a couple times he will change lines for better road matchups. If Maurice doesn't like CWL versus McDavid, then he can switch Connor and Perreault, or Laine with Ehlers.
With the amount of minutes McDavid play there is no way to ensure that.
Coming off of special teams and such you pretty much need 2 d pairs to match against every line.
You're right he could never put those 5 out but that could mean Benny and Poolman get a look with those 3.
Either way I don't like those 3 forwards together in their own end.
