Was just looking through some statistics on Natural Stat Trick and found this to be quite neat. Penalties drawn on the penalty kill from 2019-2021. Plenty of current or former Bolts featured.

This forward group is probably below average NHL level without Kuch. Hard to believe given then history and identity of this run. Flat cap has been a killer.
Top line with Point Stammer and Palat is definitely top 10 and above average
2nd line with Cirelli Killer Joseph is below average. Cirelli isn’t more than average as a 2C, Killer is good but Joseph while useful is a bottom 6 NHL player.
3rd line with Colton Perry Maroon is probably below average. Maroon and Perry are solid 4th line guys and Colton is still learning.
4th line is trash. Solid 4C surrounded by 2 rookies
Top 4 D and Vassy are where it’s at. Heddy needs to go nuts and Serge needs to start scoring
Biggest issue up front is the plethora of two way guys that aren't pure goal scorers. Our depth is abysmal at putting the puck in the net but I think our combos need work and that can help. I would prefer to see this;
Palat - Point - Stamkos
Killorn - Cirelli - Raddysh
Katchouk - Colton - Joseph
Maroon - Bellemare - Perry
Might as well solidify tandems and two lines. 1st line and 4th line is as concrete in a depth chart as you can make it. Cirelli and Colton need to be the middle 6 centers. Stick Killorn with Cirelli. Give Katchouk and Raddysh more minutes and see if they can look like they're hockey players cause so far they both look lost as heck. Raddysh does nothing. Katchouk has potential in that role, he just looks a tad behind but hopefully that will change. They definitely aren't like previous call ups that look solid even if they aren't producing. Short of them getting it together I don't know if I'm sold on the whole trade someone at the deadline. I would rather retool next offseason by unloading Palat (letting him walk if we have to, cap space is a plus), McD, Killorn and gearing up with a different supporting cast. It's not a knock on them, it's just the unfortunate realization that we have a costly group of elite players and the supporting guys are making it tough to keep a balanced group. Not to mention Cirelli, Cernak and Sergachev will need raises in a couple years.
TOR, FL, BOS, PIT, WASH, CAR, NYIBelow average in the NHL what are you smoking. Name me 16 teams with a better foward group than ours without Kuch.
If Erik Branstrom or Samuel Girard were available would we want either of them and what would we give up for either of them.

It does not need to be half. All that matters is three in the division this year to put us out of the playoffs. Florida , Boston, Toronto are better in the Division then consider the Metro Pens, Caps' Islanders, Canes, Flyers in that order. Thats 9 in the east that are better than our current forward roster without Kuch. Right now we can ice one great NHL line and if you hold them to one goal like the Panthers game last night your in trouble.TOR, FL, BOS, PIT, WASH, CAR, NYI
Close: NYR, PHI
To your point not quite half for sure but definitely debatable. Other teams are deeper but the top line is still better than most.

I read that as Hedman is taking the day off so Serg is working with both units in his place. If he were "replacing" Hedman there would be a different QB for PP2.What is this Serg nonsense?
