Hopefully he an get some points and gain confidence while playing with Connor and Nuge.
Everybody's a fan of Zykov; some of us just don't know it yetSeems Hitch isn't a fan of Zykov?
Seems Hitch isn't a fan of Zykov?
Imo it's not that, he hasn't been with the team very long, we haven't had much practices so I think Hitch wants to make sure he understands how to play our brand of hockey before getting him in more.Seems Hitch isn't a fan of Zykov?
From the previous thread.
The top line looks to be where players go get run ragged. It’s clear that Drai has been playing exhausted for a while now. When Todd formed lines around pairs, it used to be McD and Drai, now it’s Drai and Chiasson instead. The other pair in consideration would be Nuge and Pulju. The way I see it, this happened only because of the Khaira suspension and will probably be changed back a couple games later. It opens up some possibilities in the meanwhile, I see two options here:
If Hitch is looking for a tag team of pairs that can run with McDavid, then the second option would be the optimal result. The ultimate goal would be to find/develop someone who can last on McDavid’s wing permanently, and share the goodness in the meanwhile.
- JP doesn’t look like he can handle 1st line duties. The experiment lasts until Drai recovers enough to go back and join the meat grinder.
- JP scores more regularly. The experiment will last until he’s exhausted and can’t handle 1st line duties anymore.

By that you mean trade a player whoI just hope we don't "Aberg" him
But he was never traded...By that you mean trade a player who
clearly didn’t want to be here?
Love to see him on the power play....
That line is actually playing very well.Could we not sit Lucic out? Put Zykov in his place,
JP will be moved off McDavid's line before the end of the second period.
Maybe we will. It sounded like the PP was going to get changed, might as well try different players especially if Jesse does ok ES with McDavid.Love to see him on the power play....
