Well I don't think Malkin has been bad at all. He's dealt with injuries and had a revolving door of left wingers all year. That certainly has impacted his productivity. So moving Kunitz back with him would bring back a proven combo that we know will work if given time.
My opinion is that the best top 6 in the playoffs for this team is either:
Duper-Sid-Iggy
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
or
Kunitz-Sid-Iggy
Morrow-Malkin-Neal with Duper on the 3rd line RW
Both of these options keep Sid with a speedy/gritty winger that will get the puck and open up space for Sid and Iggy to work. From the 3 games I've seen, Iggy has been much more of a triggerman than the 1st guy on the forecheck. He can definitely do far more than just shoot, but I think his skills are maximized with Sid since Geno already has Neal for the triggerman spot. Plus, Neal is a proven RW here and Iggy has been a RW his entire career. Why move guys from their proven positions?
this guy gets me.
This really was just ****** timing for Sid to get hurt.
