Hm, this coincides perfectly with his statistical decline...

Thoughts on his recent play?
p.s. I've not been impressed.

He also took a few draws last night for that line, which could be another reason why Eakins is sticking with him.I do wonder if Eakins will continue to insist on having Raks with them. He’s mentioned before that he brings a responsible element, so I could see him being there for a while even if they lack chemistry
I wouldn't be opposed to trying Carrick with Zegras and Milano for a couple of games. He would bring some physicality while having a bit more offense in him than Deslauriers. He is also good at draws and could take some key faceoffs. This would free Rakell to play with Lundeström and Silfverberg.He also took a few draws last night for that line, which could be another reason why Eakins is sticking with him.
I agree, would like to see one of the forwards switched for a player with grit and power. Now they are three of same style, on different levels. While that can be amazing on occasion, it doesn't offer much flexibility. But I'm just guessing as a layman.I wouldn't be opposed to trying Carrick with Zegras and Milano for a couple of games.

I don't.i get a feeling he's gonna return to that 30 goal player playing with Malkin.
They already tried that with Kapanen, and that didn't work out. He got sent packing to 3rd line already this yr. Malkin is not same player he was anymore.i get a feeling he's gonna return to that 30 goal player playing with Malkin.

I completely forgot about his move where he put his stick behind his back to grab a puck, that's a f***ing bonkers play
"We found out that he had some medical and dietary issues that affected his play the last couple of years. And those have been sorted out. So we figured out, this is a guy who fell off the map a little bit for two years, and all of a sudden he's got 14 goals or whatever he's got this year. We did some really good reconnaissance on him and figured out this is a guy who is bouncing back, not continuing to spiral."
