Finding Hyman
Draisaitl needs to get off the ice a lot earlier. There were a few instances last night even where the rest of his line had already changed and he's still out there with 2/3rd's of another line with no urgency to get off the ice. He also doesn't need to play 90 seconds+ of the pp each time he's out there.
Holy crap. The first unit PP is probably instructed to stayout the vast majority of the PP because, you may have noted, we have virtually no other PP players. To put this on Drai when the whole unit are out is laughable. This is a bad club lacking entirely indepth trying to desperately mask it, and maximize their time spent on PP, because we have nobody else.
As far as the long shifting drai and McD both do it and largely, again, because the team lacks much lineup depth and lacks forwards that can adequately play even a dozen minutes. Now if Drai was doing this on some team deep with talent or depth or something then absolutely I would go at it. But EVERY coach here has maxed out McDrai and thrown them over the boards frequently. None of them have sought to minimize their icetime in any way and all of them keep throwing them out there as much as possible.
