The teams issue isn't individuals aren't succeeding. Its that without McDavid or Draisaitl on the ice no one does anything.
So I mean ya, maybe McDavid can get Foegele to score. But then you just have RNH in the bottom 6 not scoring either. So the problem is the exact same.
My thinking is RNH doesn't get points unless he's on the pp anyway so I personally don't care if his minutes get reduced as long as he plays well defensively which he has throughout his career.
We are so desperate to the point where all I'm personally asking the bottom 6 to do is to lock it up defensively and not get scored on until they get an upgrade via a trade or Holloway's arrival.
If McDavid and Foegele have really good hidden chemistry, it would be worth a try. If you put that first line I mentioned together, I also think there's a greater chance of us scoring first if they can cycle the opposition to death and crash the net at the start of games, not giving a chance for a counter strike.
Nobody is really doing much in terms of scoring aside from Draisaitl or occasionally JP and Hyman anyway. Who knows? If a line of those 3 can get early and/or multiple goals in a night, it will spark the team back to life. If the experiment is a failure then whatever. Try something else and don't go back to it.
