This nonsense of weakening their top line in a feeble attempt to get David Krejci going needs to stop. Pasta does not need to get DK going. DK needs to get himself going with whomever they partner him up with. The constant cycling through wingers in a misguided attempt to balance out their scoring needs to be over. DK needs to decide he wants to play hard and contribute a solid effort every night.
What have Krejci's wingers been the last 2 years? Spooner/Backes/DeBrusk/Stafford/Vatrano. Looks like either rookies or 3rd liners, and he still put up .67 ppg. Funny how in 2015-16 when Krejci played with Eriksson and Pastrnak that he was back to his old production of .87 ppg. Feeble attempt? Looks like just a fact.
Another fact is that our 2nd line isn't that good and Krejci isn't good enough to carry an entire line. There's not alot of 2nd line centers that can. Even more rare for a guy on the wrong side of 30. Good teams have depth. See: every good team in the conference finals the last decade. Living and dying by one line won't get us further than last year.
