We have McLeod, Mitchell, Jones, Bordeleau, Olver, Malone, Vincour and one of our centers for the bottom six.
Plus our first round pick this year. Perhaps Palushaj too.
Bottom six needs to lose weight, not gain it.
Lets see. Mitchell, Jones, and maybe Olver really don't have the defensive ability you want in your bottom 6.
Our shutdown line is our 2nd line. And I hate that.
Mitchell needs to go or atleast get bumped down to 4th line duty with Bordeleau and Malone/ Vincour but I would rather resign Kobasew and let Malone center him and Bordy.
Cody Mac aka Vice Anti-Tank-commander has convinced me that we should give him a shot at the 3rd line next year although I am not sure about his defensive ability tbh.
Maybe bump him down and get rid of Kobasew AND Mitchell if Cody is not good enough defensively (drawing a blank here tbh).
Boyd Gordon would be a good fit as a shutdown #3 C.
One of Stastny/ROR has to go next deadline. If we can not get Gordon I want a "McClement"-type as a part of the package in return.
We desperately need to get rid of the tweeners and go back to the days of Winnik, McClement and Galiardi. We need more PK prowess outside of our Top6.
Our bottom 6 is our second biggest achilles heel right now IMO.
The three scoringlines approach has failed!
