He’s played his best hockey on the first pair. I won’t use injuries as an excuse because theyre just that... an excuse, but the defensive minded coaching this year has been nothing short of atrocious. They switched from having a SF1 below the red line and completely relied on the D pair to battle with 3 opposing forecheckers to get the puck out of the zone.He still played 47 games. They need someone to anchor the 2nd pair with Ghost (or to shift Sanheim down to the 2nd pairing) then have Gudas on the 3rd pairing with Hagg/Myers/Morin.
Sanheim will probably be better than Ghost, but I would have Sanheim on the 2nd pair with someone and let Ghost return to form on the 1st pair.
If we don’t sign/trade anyone... I would love to have as a D Corp:
Provorov - Ghost
Sanheim - Myers
Morin - Gudas
Everyone had a down year and people are freaking out. Same idea when Giroux and Voracek put up 50 points. Everyone wants them traded. All that is needed is a coaching change/fix. Have more support F in the Dzone to help play. STOP DOING 2 LINE PASSES EAST - WEST OR JUST IN GENERAL. Stuff like that.
