I'm sure I could find quite a few worst ones if I looked through.
Again, it's about having 2 strong lines instead of only 1. balance.
Please go look for some, I would be interested to hear.

How does just replacing DD and Plekanec create two balanced lines instead of one? The structure of the top 6 is identical.
If MT wanted a balanced top 6, he can start by replacing Weise with Sekac and then go from there. Alternating Plekanec and DD still doesn't give the Canadiens two scoring lines.

The coach's job is to find solutions, the offense has dried up...Plekanec and Pacioretty haven't been clicking lately. What's else is he supposed to do?
two blanced scoring lines would look like this:
patch-pleks-cakes
chucky-eller-gally
what does that tell you about Plekanec & Desharnais?
Something that hasn't repeatedly failed in the past?
1.That Weise doesn't belong on the first line and is dragging his linemates down with his 3 points in 10 games.
2. DD shouldn't be in the top 6.
Ok...if not Weise? Then who? I find this whole fascination with Dale Weise on the 1st line hilarious. I mean, clearly, he's not a first line player. But who else do the Habs have that has size and can dig pucks out for Pacioretty and whoever is playing center with him?
Don't say Sekac, if you think Weise and his 3 points in 10 games is bad, I dare you to look up Sekac's numbers the last 10 games. He hasn't shown enough to earn a promotion.
Well Pacioretty and Desharnais have had success in the past...so not sure what you mean here

I don't think MT minds the lack of production from Weise because he's at least consistent in his effort and he fills a specific role better than Sekac would at this point. I mean, I like the guy, he looks like he's going to be a solid player, but he's got 46 shots in 43 games (even less than Weise).
At this point in time...he doesn't belong on the 1st line
What do you mean don't say Sekac. Of course the answer is Sekac. First, comparing Weise's last 10 games to Sekac's isn't the same considering one plays with the team's two best forwards and the other is playing in the bottom 6. Second, DD got a promotion back to the top 6 after putting up 2 points in 10 games. If he warranted such a promotion, then so does Sekac, since it's clear that MT clearly doesn't link merit and promotion considering DD's promotion.
You're making no sense.
What speaks for Weise in top line? Chemistry? Production? If nothing Weise has earned demotion.Again...what has Sekac shown to earn a promotion on the top line? He's not getting tons of chances, he struggles with putting pucks on nets. Yeah, he's great at controlling the puck on the perimeter but whether it's him or Weise, there's no much difference right now.
I'm sorry, I don't play favorites...is Sekac more talented than Weise? There's no question he is, but right now, there's nothing I've seen to show me that he's the solution to the problem at RW on the 1st line.
Like I said...I don't play favorites

There was a time when sekac looked like he could fill in that slot. But his game seems to have tailed off lately. He's not nearly as effective on the forcheck, and doesn't seem to be as assertive.
I don't think he's been the same guy since the all star break, maybe earlier.
Its too bad because at one point, the eller-sekac duo was my favorite, and the habs really do need more from them.

Weise does his job effectively, he's a strong forechecker, he chips the puck out on his wing, plays physical and chips in offense when he can. It's certainly not his fault that he's playing in a role he's not suited for. It's more of an indication of what this team lacks, than anything he does.
I mean come on...he's already surpassed his career high in points, he's a +10, gives an honest effort every night and has chipped in with some very important goals for the Habs in his time here.
Earned himself a demotion? How?
Galchenyuk should have never been moved back to wing.
We are a healthy team and the head coach is icing the worst possible version of our roster. Add that to his $hitty system and that explains rather easily losses to Arizona and Buffalo.
