Aside from getting a great pick after this season , we need to get our house in order and CanTorts . There is zero reason that Texier shouldn’t be playing center . Coming off a game where Wennberg actually decided to apply himself , shows you how much better the team can look with a legit #2 center . Also , Bemstrom, Texier, Milano, should be getting 15 minutes per game in ice time . Let Shaw take over , let him do his thing with playing an actual defensive structure . Jarmo needs to become more active . I look at Pittsburgh for example , just in the past year they have acquired Bjugstad, Galchenyuk . Both are off to slow starts , but Galchenyuk would have been a huge upgrade to this team , yet another team in our division makes the necessary moves . We have a huge surplus of defenseman yet we stay pat , with 13 mill in cap space . The positives , Korpi and Merzlikins look to be a very solid Tandem . When you consider the defensive structure in front of them , the goaltending is the least of my concerns on this team . In the last 5 games , which includes the Colorado game , he has a 2.40 Gaa , and .91% . That’s with the defense allowing multiple, odd man rushes , defensive breakdowns , with Torts Safe is Death style in full effect . How about we let our dynamic forwards just play slot more, and quit trying to cheat your defense up all the time to create offense ? Same with the powerplay , let Texier, Bemstrom, Texier, Pld play major minutes on the powerplay .
