Quoting: Petrock83
Mete is barely top 4, and Chiarot is definitely not. Needs at least one more top 4 LHD to be good.
this is MTL not CHI
we dont rely on 4 D to play 23-31 minutes like you guys did your last cup run while the bottom 2 pair play 10-13
in MTL all 3 pairs 18-23 minutes a piece
this is Claude Juliens 4 line , 3 pair system with a Tandem Goalie set up that he's run in BOS and in MTL his first time , it only evolves but never changes.
here Kulak and Juulsen at 18 -19 , Chariot and Petry at 20-23 ,Mete and Weber at 18-23 works just fine .
Weber and Petry pick up a few minutes more on special teams as does Kulak and Chariot leaving Mete and Juulsen playing primarily 5v5.
it would be amazing if we had the skill evenly placed on both LD and RD to pull off a top 4 but that's just not the case since 1996 give or take a year .
