New team/first game jitters, never playing with them before…gonna take a few games, like Perry did, like Elkholm. He’ll get better once he gets acclimated.

There are definitely reasons to pass on Eberle. His performance in the 2016 playoffs is certainly not one of them. That was nearly a decade ago. He’s had an entire career since then of being a good playoff performer.
Take a look at that right side in our forward group. Other than Hyman, what makes you think it's good? There's nothing wrong with adding another top six winger who can actually shoot right handed.
At this point, it's honestly the best we can do.
Hopefully Holland can pull this off tomorrow IF Seattle doesn't sign Eberle

All I know is that Holland has to find a way to make a deal for either a 2nd pairing Dman or top 6 winger tomorrow. This current group needs a shot in the arm
Right wingers in order of preference
Buchnevich
Toffoli
Eberle
and that’s really it.

McD is paid more than double everyone but Leon. He should be counted on to carry the team.

Not asking him to do it all. Carrying the team means doing more than the others and taking the lead.

They looked like ass against a bottom team. It’s not the be all and end all by any means but there have been some bad habits creeping in which are a bit concerning.

We will see him later on (well hopefully we won't need to) lol

Here’s the problem this year:
Kane has continued to decline.
RNH isn’t as good as last season.
That’s probably 20 goals right there.
McDrai are also not dominating to the same degree this year. McDavid can’t shoot properly and Drai’s aim isn’t the same.
That’s probably another 20 goals.

Nuge is off his regular pace of 25-30 goals currently on pace for 22, Kane is on pace for 29 which around his career average of high 20s-low 30s. I think it was suspected for Nuge to regress back to his normal goal scoring levels. Overall the goal loss between the two is not that bad, though a goal in a tight game is a game changer.
McDavid and Draisaitl are down in goal scoring this season, on pace for 31 and 43 respectively. Theres 20 goals right there....

Kane's overall game has declined, but his goal scoring so far this year is exactly at his career average GPG.

Eberle wasn't my first choice either but we need something to get that second line going.
It's been a grand total of one game with the new additions but it sure didn't feel like we moved the needle after that stinker.
Bad plays from the guys receiving the most criticism this season reinforced a bunch of negative opinions.
Wrong thread but the Columbus game tonight was a kick in the junk.

The real question is how the hell are they on pace for 31 and 43 goals after having to play with Connor Brown for so many games
Dissapointing if that was it for Holland. Even beyond that, this is likely Holland's last year as a GM before retirement. You'd think he'd be more all-in just because of that.

He’s not able to forecheck or control pucks as well. He also can’t pass at all. Any line with him on it is basically one and done in the offensive zone. He’s a liability in the defensive zone too. I hope he works on his skating over the summer as he needs speed to be effective.
It’s a big reason why the PP isn’t as good this year.
