Tied for 5th in the NHL

Yes I am confident with going with Pleks as number one, DD as number 2 and Gally as 3rd line center.

What is the problem with that center line ?

So who plays on the 3rd line with DD? You want DD as your checking line center? Really?

The problem is the transition between the defense and the offense.

This is a big part of the problem but there's more to it.

Ice distribution being a huge one.

Personally I think it all falls under the umbrella of "bad coaching."

Second line like he is playing right now. The only thing that changes from what we have now is Gally moved to center of the 3rd line and Eller traded.

Sorry, I meant 2nd line. DD is pretty much our 1st line center, though. If he's our 2nd line centerman then his role changes. Then you have Galchenyuk as checking line center? I don't think that works, really. If you can't get a legit 1st or 2nd line C for Eller then don't trade him. His value is low right now and he is a perfect 3rd line center. Problem is we have a bunch of centermen who aren't 1st line Cs. They're 2nd and 3rds.

We have 2 top6 wingers (MaxPac and Gallagher). The rest are bottom sixers. And we don't have a legit #1 C.

Some can get away with this (like Anaheim) but they are built in totally different way outside of their #1 line.

Patience my friend. Gally will be when our window opens. As for top sixers. +1 soon with Andrighetto.

23 games left, how many do you guys think Price starts?

I guess that will depend on how close everyone remains in the standings. If things stay like they are, then I could see him playing 20 of those games.
