Fantastic! Continue to play him on the top PP, heck double shift him on the PP for all I care.
But at ES where his net impact is on the same level as Gus/Kupari or even worse, play him in a role that he is capable of handling and thriving in and stop wasting prime minutes on Scheifele's wing on someone barely breaking even and buried in chances.
You should apply for a job as NHL GM since you seem to have figured the way to win a cup. Once you secure your job, I'm sure it will be easy to go out and get the first line talent needed to win all their matchups. Seems easy enough, especially if you are working in the most difficult market to attract talent to
As I've pointed out to you repeated times, chevy has built the kind of depth that can win. Look at it this way...

Your assumption that you need to dominate every shift 5v5 is where all the rest of your questionable takes start
