I get that but consider who he is playing with?
Rowney and Sherwood
Vs
Kesler and silf
I Kase would be able to generate a hell of a lot more offense with Kesler and silf than the 4th line guys.
Also it would help us defensively since kase can make plays he would keep the other team honest.
4th line would be pure grind, but I think that’s ok if the other 3 lines can generate offfense reliably.
Right now it feels like we have 2 lines that can score and 2 lines that are lucky too.
KyleJRM said:Kase on the fourth line generated 6 shots, scored a goal and only played two fewer minutes than our top line guys.
They walked back the new system and the d-pairs have started to stabilize. They still allow way too many chances for the talent they have though.So in your opinion guys, how has this team managed to stop hemmhoraging shots against? Like the shot disparity in the recent games has been normal... What’s changed?
Josh Manson is playing like an elite shutdown #1 (he has been unreal every game for about the last 10) and we are getting contributions from multiple forwards nowSo in your opinion guys, how has this team managed to stop hemmhoraging shots against?

I think you're missing the big picture as KyleJRM stated:
Although some teams rarely put out the fourth line, the times that they do, then Kase does have the upper hand in skill to fully take advantage of that than being with the shutdown line against the opposing team's top offensive line. When you're getting 2 fewer minutes than a top-6 player, then I don't understand the complaint - especially since Kase scored with said line along with leading the team in SOGs. The fourth line can be looked at as an energy line than a grind line.
Now, I'm not opposed to putting Kase with Kes-Silf, but you're trashing on a situation that actually worked as well as got the GWG.
I saw only highlights but looks like Crawford shat the bed
Looks like they reverted back to the old system, Manson & Montour are playing to their potential, Larsson has taken huge strides, and Dotchin has been a big improvement on the third pairing.
Teaford said as much a few weeks ago. The coaches felt the new system had been rushed, so they reverted not to last year's system but to a simpler more defensive-oriented thing, this was also part of their "we're going to win games through the D" push.Yeah it does look like they’ve completely abandoned whatever system Carlyle tried to put in place at the start of the year. There’s still work to be done but they are looking miles better. Montour in particular has been miles better the past 10 games.
Rushed? I think the new system was shit.Teaford said as much a few weeks ago. The coaches felt the new system had been rushed, so they reverted not to last year's system but to a simpler more defensive-oriented thing, this was also part of their "we're going to win games through the D" push.

Rushed? I think the new system was ****.
Looks like we started the year with a ''everyone play horrible'' systemLooks like they reverted back to the old system, Manson & Montour are playing to their potential, Larsson has taken huge strides, and Dotchin has been a big improvement on the third pairing.
The whole new "system" thing was B.S. If Murray really wanted a new system, he would have hired a coach that really would implement it.
