I don’t Like your D pairings. I don’t want to waste reilly’s Offensive flare like we are with zaitsev this year. Just remember back to gardiner on the power play getting out played and taking a penalty and the puck still made it to the back of our net... that’s what gardiner looks like without zaitsev. If I had a say
Reilly/zaitsev
Dermott/ozhiganov
Gardiner/hainsey
Go with that for a bit but keep Gards on the PP to get his minutes. Play him against lesser competition and he will still produce offensively. This allows Reilly and zaitsev to get up to the 25min mark keep Dermott and ozhiganov around 18-20m. Hainsey will get the rest he needs without affecting reilly’s Time.
Zaitsev can take on top minutes ice time and would give Reilly added support both defensively and offensively.
