I personally believe Ehlers should be on the 1st PP unit. Our power play struggled even to get set up last year, and then struggled to move the puck with purpose and often was stationary. I would love to see Ehlers run the halfwall but I know POMO will never do that. However Ehlers was easily the best on our team in both of those aspects last year. Something like:
Ehlers (PP quarterback)- Scheifele (bumper guy)- Wheeler (Net driver/down low presence/quarterback 2)
Laine(No change, but hopefully more movement from him)-Morrissey (I feel like JMO's skating ability and left hand shot could open more seams, especially to Patty)
I believe that it is very important to take some of the pressure off of Wheeler on the power play so he can focus more on being a factor at 5V5 as he ages.
Which would leave the second unit to be
Connor(down low option)-Statsny(bumper guy)-Rosy ( puck distributor, could be some good exchanges in position between him and Statsny)
Heinola(super efficient passer)-Pionk(solid at getting pucks through)
