We don't have a 1st line anymore. Jumbo is not playing like a 1st line C and Pavs is mainly a product of Jumbo. Couture-Donskoi with Couture as 'C' are good for 2nd line QoC but I just don't see them matching up against most teams top-lines. I know @Juxtaposer has mentioned this in the past but I would like to see Couture play wing. Maybe have Hertl center that line.
Couture-Hertl-Donskoi
Pavs-Jumbo-Labanc
Hansen-Tierney-Boedker
Karlsson-Carpenter-Ward
Also, give Heed/Ryan a shot.
Send Meier back to the AHL. Though honestly, I am not sure if that will help.
I’d be in favor of those lines.
I also don’t think sending Meier back to the AHL would do him any good. It’s not that he’s too good for the AHL but rather that I just don’t think playing against weaker competition will help him work through his issues.
I’d also be in favor of moving Pavs back to center just to see if he can create on his own. Play him with Hansen and Boedker, see if he can actually produce. If he can’t, then he needs to be traded ASAP.
