Panarin and Lafreniere should stay together otherwise I'm all for this

The only key reason I flipped them is to get Kakko going. Kid has 0 confidence whatsoever. Doesn’t shoot, doesn’t drive to the net

That is why he should be scratched for a couple of games. Sometimes you need to force the change.

Honestly yes. It worked when they scratched Lafreniere last year.

Well given the injuries to fox and chytil, I’d rather not scratch Kakko yet haha

I'd keep Kakko w/ top line for now, and LaF w/ Panarin on 2nd. As far as Brodz to 2C, and the D pairings....hey, why not?

Realistically though, I thought the lineup vs MINN was fine. It was the collective lack of resolve and push back which did them in. If they come out without the desire to engage and win puck battles, it wont matter what the lines or D pairings are.

I just want to see Kakko get going. It’s a bit depressing seem him not stand out while Laffy has been looking good with Panarin

Also I just want Jones away from Schneider. They clearly don’t work

If you call up othmann for under 10 games it's all good
