<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I think trying to say O is on the save level of player as Hainsey or as mobile as Daley is a stretch. Also the Cole Oleksiak lineup did not end up working out well. I believe O played on the left side and Cole did nothing but collect penalties. That's why they traded him.

Hainsey is a very under rated player. I think you saw that this year. His leaving hurt. He went to be a number 1 pairing in Toronto. They simply aren't the same level of player. To get the most out of O you have to put him on the Left. Otherwise you are simply working against the grain.</div></div>

I see them keeping Oleksiak on the left, and none of the top 4 guys will be moved, so it is all up to finding a payer who can play on the right side of their bottom pairing, and I agree it should preferably be a right shot, but it is not necessarily a requirement. Also the team was playing its best hockey this season when Oleksiak-Cole was the bottom pairing, and once they had to put Hunwick into the lineup they immediately gave up 8 goals to the Bruins, and I think Hunwick was a -5.
