Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Through 6 games:

Negatives:
Tuch looks awful; has to be playing injured or something
Okposo is absolutely cooked. Does not have the speed to play in the lineup anymore
Girgensons to a degree also looks like he's taken a step back. Could have something to do with playing with Okposo though.
Erik Johnson is killing them 5v5. I'd hesitate taking him out of the lineup considering I think he's been a part of the reason the PK has been so good. 36% expected goals at 5v5 is killing them though.
Cozens has looked better the last few games but still doesn't look right.
Peterka hasn't taken the kind of jump many thought he would. Still gets knocked off pucks so easily.
Olofsson is an anchor at 5v5. Offers nothing.
THE PP: Having a Thompson one-timer being the entire strategy for the pp was never going to work this season. Cozens isn't good enough of a playmaker to be a flank and Skinner's passing decisions kill any kind of movement down low.


Positives:
Greenway has been solid. Looks like he has more of an offensive touch this year
Mittelstadt has continued his strong play from the end of last season (except tonight he was bad)
Probably the best stretch of games Jokiharju has played since 19-20. Still not a very good player but serviceable
I actually think Krebs has looked pretty solid. Been holding on to the puck a little longer and looking to make plays
THE PK
