Well , it is no secret JJ is a possession black hole, anchor etc ....

Nice writing Paul. Nutivaara is rather unknown player in Finland, too.

So who comes out of the lineup if it isn't Prout? You want Johnson to be scratched?

hey paul, reading this got me thinking. if werenski is cemented on the first line, with his play as of now why would he not be, and with murray not exactly excelling with first line minutes. what about a 3rd pairing of nuti and murray? I feel like their puck possession tendencies could potentially fit together very nicely.

Honestly I have no clue how Prout's adv stats are so good because I can't stand his game. He is horrible at passing, takes bad penalties, and can't skate. This is an instance where I don't care what adv stat say, I don't want him on my team. But hey he one punch Lucic so.

I thought this article was going to be about how Werenski >>>> Provorov
