I would not say such things if I were you.

You just made that up
We could win this if we had McDavid.We could win this if we had Nylander.
He's taken the "Peters blend-o-matic" tactic to the other extreme. I think he'd send out a guy with a broken leg if he could to avoid changing a line.Four goals in last three games. Same lines from Brindy. We still look good 5-on-5 but we aren't producing. It was good time to try something different. As of now, Brindy is questionable one.
How about 4 power play pointsMy bold, highly made up prediction: Svechnikov with a 4 point night.

In fairness, what could he change that would likely have an impact?
Scoring on this team has to primarily come from our top 2 lines.
- Ferland, Aho, TT have been producing every game so he probably doesn't want to mess with that right now and I don't really blame him.
- Zykov and Svech really aren't good enough defensively (yet) to play with Jordan.
- Wallmark and Bishop are ideally 4th liners and/or AHL tweeners.
Other than swapping Foegele, Martinook and McGinn around on the left side, I'm not sure there are many good options right now.
Maybe something like?
Ferland-Aho-TT
McGinn-Staal-Williams
Foegele-Wallmark-Svech
Martinook-Bishop-Zykov
Stay the Course!...
Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
If there are, we'll all be dead.
No more rhymes now, I mean it.

Playing hard to get, I see. You aren't fooling anyone here, you'll put out and like it anyway.I'll like this comment if that happens.
My lawyer made me add that.all predictions are made up
Don't be ridiculous.How about 4 power play points
Can't do that anymore.... I know it is inconceivable.
It's a good point. But also, what do you have to lose? Aho's line has one goal in each of the last two games. Everyone raise your hand that thinks we are going to win many one goal games....me neither. So I'd try what you did. I'd try swapping Ferland and Foegele. I might even try moving TT away from Aho. Not as permanent solutions, necessarily, but to see what works. How many times have we in the past bemoaned coaches who staple a young offensive talent to a third or fourth line as we watch them fail to be the difference maker we thought they were. Now suddenly Svech on the 3rd/4th line is what he needs to develop? Doesn't he deserve at least a shift or two next to a guy (Aho) that might actually know how to set him up?
I get staying with the original lines at the start of the game and when we are trying to be competitive, but when you get down by two or more goals, there is little to lose by experimentation.
