And Max has 7 goals in 6 games without DD...
Remember when people claimed that DD is our best offensive center, remember when people said Pacioretty can't produce without DD, remember when a 30k posts member claimed Pacioretty is a normal 20 goals player without DD.
Good times..
Dont ignore the other arguments that were made.
Chucky was doing well on Pleks' wing and the biggest problem facing the Habs offensively was scoring from the wings.
Since Chucky moved to C, his scoring has slowed tremendously (save for the hat trick game).
Its a double edged sword. This team needs better wingers. Pulling Chucky from the wing has not helped the Habs overall. Yes, it is important for Chucky to learn from his mistakes and develop but.....and this is a big but.......the Habs are in the mix of a playoff fight and there is no reason to throw this season away.
DD should go back to center.....but centering Weise and PAP. The top 6 should be Pleks and Eller at C with Max, Sekac, Galchenyuk and Gallagher at wing in whatever combination will work.
At least until Bergevin is able to acquire a Top 6 wing via trade or at the deadline.
