Rick Bowness also confirmed that Perfetti is back at wing.
I was thinking that giving Barron a chance, moving up the lineup, would be a better option. Not Halloween Apples. That’s more of a trick than a treat!!Feel like Appleton is not the right choice here. Unless they mean top-line RW on the Moose.
Can somebody smarter than I please try to rationalize why the hell Appleton is being moved to the top line?
Hey, I said somebody smarter than meRewarding tenure like a good office job
Yup. Ehlers is on the top unit. Progress.First line Apples, Perfetti second line wing getting half shifts at the end of powerplays, going to get less now that Ehlers is on the top unit. Oh how far we've come.
Bones is showing his warts and the reasons he's barely been a head coach in his coaching career.First line Apples, Perfetti second line wing getting half shifts at the end of powerplays, going to get less now that Ehlers is on the top unit. Oh how far we've come.

If Perfetti's confidence is a concern I don't think there's a better place to build it up than the powerplay.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted haha
Hopefully they are just moving 91 to the wing temporarily until he gets some confidence back and then will go back to the plan
jesus christ all you do is complain and stan over perfetti. ehlers-namesnikov was a fine duo last year, perfetti may be able to concentrate a bit more on offense on the wing which would be higher overall benefit to the team than namestnikov.Bones being a dinosaur. Completely unsuprising. What a joke this org is, can't even follow through on a plan. Have to deviate the minute a kid makes a mistake.
I don’t know if moving Perfetti to the wing is just an attempt to get more offence out of the lineup?
Maybe the rationale is (not that I necessarily agree with it) is Perfetti can focus more on generating offence and less on the defensive game that he’s focused on recently. With Vilardi down this team is now even more short on offensive threats and goals have already been hard to come by.
Ignore my posts if you don't like them. A higher overall benefit then that is him succeeding at 2C.jesus christ all you do is complain and stan over perfetti. ehlers-namesnikov was a fine duo last year, perfetti may be able to concentrate a bit more on offense on the wing which would be higher overall benefit to the team than namestnikov.
This was my assumption as well.I don’t know if moving Perfetti to the wing is just an attempt to get more offence out of the lineup?

Honestly, this is over the top -Bones is showing his warts and the reasons he's barely been a head coach in his coaching career.
agreed. perfetti has more offense upside than namestnikov. our 2nd line hasn't score a goal through 3 games. let perfetti & ehlers be the catalysts offensively and namestnikov be more of a 2-way guy.I don’t know if moving Perfetti to the wing is just an attempt to get more offence out of the lineup?

I don’t disagree that they need a long-term answer at centre and I would personally have moved Kupari into the top six as a winger and have Gus at 4C, but the team needs to score goals and maybe Perfetti will be more dynamic on the wing. I didn’t hate his play at C but the team needs to generate more. They can still shift him back later.That is just short term thinking and lacks any kind of long term focus. The team needs a solution behind Scheifele and Namestnikov isn't it. We are three games in, there should be no reason to panic.
