CJ wont play Byron top minutes because after 16-17 Byron stops becoming the speedy road runner.
we rely on him to lead our PK unit so the most CJ really plays him is 9-11 minutes at a 2nd/3rd line capacity.
instead he often uses his favorite hab since day 1 Arturri Lehkonen. since he got here there was a lot of criticism's about MTL roster at the time but one of the few players who avoided Julien's wrath was Lehkonen who he'd speak about in the media as being a bright piece of MTL future team raving about his shut down ability and hockey sense . Lehkonen since then has played wherever Claude has a young center with defensive issues . (Chucky first , Drouin second ,Kotkanemi third )
that being said i doubt Domi plays Center again its unfair to Philip Danault who until Thompson arrived took 50% of MTL faceoffs .
he'd win possession and cycle off for Domi to jump on. at one point he was played on PP1 and PP2 because he was the only hab with a positive win rate and our PP was so bad fans were throwing stuff on the ice .
i keep saying the answer to our problem is KHL Assistant Coach Alexi Kovalev who lead us during the last time we were the undisputed #1 PP team in the league . (still got my 100 year anniversary habs magazine i read often and everytime i see that stat and how far we fell post Kovalev i get a little frustrated we let him walk instead of developing him into our own coach like we saw fit to do with Burrows and STL saw fit to do with Ott
