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

Love that bro, I feel you
