what does Slepyshev do though?
Caggiula has 12 goals, whil Slepyshev has 11 points.
How often this season has Caggiula been the bearer of bad plays and has been the focus of having a bad shift, period or game. All the while played many more minutes with McDavid, Draisaitl and RNH then Slepychev.
Now how often is Slepychev been the focus of bad play? He's definitely been quiet on the offensive side, but the other aspects of the game he's been much better then Drake. I personally think he would have better offensive stats then Caggiula if given the same opportunity.
Problem I see is McLellan won't give Anton the required play time on the top two lines to get comfortable. He's been mixing things up so often it's hard for anyone to find chemistry together on this team.
Drake's biggest asset right now is his season last year. He played fantastic and deserved to get the nod to play up the lineup at the start of the year. Low and behold Caggiula has regressed and McLellen was to slow to adapt and make the proper lineup changes.
If McLellen is around next year he has to coach much better. The onus is on him to make better decisions all around.
I think that Slepyshevs biggest issue is himself...not McLellan.
Like I said earlier...if he could muster up even 75% of Drakes level of try he would be a much better and more consistent player. He has the talent.
It's very evident that Slepy has it in him to be a very effective middle six winger. But it's only on display once every 5 or 6 games.
I'll look grumpier than McLellan if the Oilers manage to loose this game against the Ducks after beating LA.
C'mon McD, 3 points, C'mon Draisaitl Duck Killer, get a hat trick.
Lets roast those ducks. I want to see nothing but dead ducks after this tilt.
The Ducks sure have a lot of loser points.
