Part of me wants him to play with Horvat again, this is where having a winger like William Nylander would do wonders for this team as Pettersson could play with skilled and dynamic. In my view, for Pettersson and Boeser to work the third winger on the line has to be skilled puck distributor and Ferland clearly isn't that. Boeser is a trigger man, not a play driver.
Brock Boeser has played his best hockey with Bo Horvat. If Pettersson / Boeser is going to be successful they need a skilled winger, not a grinder like Ferland. Pettersson played great hockey early last season with Goldobin and Baertschi, two skilled wingers.I think it’s too early to over think it. Give these guys some time, it will start to click. If anything move Miller up, recall Baertschi, and put him next to Horvat where the two have had proven chemistry.
I think that looks pretty solid, although I wouldn't mind switching Baertschi and Miller.Brock Boeser has played his best hockey with Bo Horvat.

Baertschi / Pettersson / Boeser
Miller / Horvat / Pearson
Ferland / Gaudette / Virtanen
Leivo / Beagle / Sutter
Boeser is somewhat of a notorious slow starter...
Brock Boeser suffering from Brad Boyes syndrome. Ya hate to see it!
Imagine being surprised that a guy who sustained a concussion less than two weeks ago is having a slow start.
Last season he was dealing with an injury from the summer, same situation this season.
Imagine making excuses constantly for bad play
Don't bother, people here just want to wallow in bitterness. the whining will never end.because ~.42 goals per game in his young career are really bad play.

He's had a lot on his plate to deal with early this season, so hopefully he's about to turn it around.Vintage Boeser moment today? Cool as a cucumber and beating top tendies from the slot. Hopefully the start of something for him here.
