100% agree. Barzal at wing is a terrible idea

Engvall and Horvort are new players, but in my head, this team looks the same for 5 years.

For a full season yes, otherwise the only new players are Karson Kuhlman, Julien Gauthier and Brian Pinho lol. Only subtraction is Zach Parise which is pretty significant if Holmström/Gauthier/Kuhlman/Iskhakov/Dufour can’t take a big step. Lou is delusional and has been for quite a while now.

I kind of agree. What I want is Horvat-Barzal-Nelson C depth and Barzal and Horvat play together when we're down a goal. Similar to when Crosby and Malkin would play together at the end of games.

The thing is either Horvat or Nelson should play the 3C and what happens with Pageau then? Put Nelson at Barzal's LW, with his shot and IQ he would complement Barzal's game great and Nelson isn't the two-way C he used to be either way, I think he would be more effective for a longer time on the wing.
