Burakovsky doesn't deserve that demotion.
Landeskog ---- Mackinnon ---- Rantanen
Burakovsky ------- Kadri ------- Donskoi
Saad ---------------- Jost -------- Calvert
Nichuskin ------ Bellemare ----- Compher
It's not perfect but at least it gets Compher away from C and puts a play driver (Saad) on the 3rd line.
The lack of offense from the bottom 6 and especially from the (non-existent) 3rd line is a significant problem for this team.
It's not so much about a demotion as it is returning to something that's worked in the past.
Nichushkin is also struggling as well (no where near as bad as Compher of course).
