Reinforces my pairings idea...

Hughes Myers
Edler Schmidt

I get the argument, but Hughes takes a lot of risks and Myers is just not good at defending. I'd honestly rather have one of the kids with Schmidt and play Huggy with Edler than put him with a liability like Myers.

Edler Myers is fine. I mean, having a dominant pairing isn't a bad thing. play them 25 minutes per night, let the studs run I say.

Hughes & Myers played their best together vs having any other partners.

Edler and Myers were ok as a pair, keep it but they play less. 35 divided by the botom two d-pairs is pretty good, hopefully one our rookies play decent.

You mean the two players who only played together in offensive zone starts and powerplay scenarios? We shall see!

Sure lets play in our end most of the game & lead the league in shots against blocked shots & the injuries that come with it 👍

That doesn’t really make much sense, those two played together last year and didn’t get any blocked shot injury. Schmidt and hughes playing 25 minutes and being the two guys that play the most is ideal. Myers playing over 20 is a nightmare and honestly Edler as better with less last year too as he’s not getting younger. I think you think a lot more highly of Myers than I do if you think he should be on the first pair.

Doesn’t make sense to have our 2 best zone exit D together 5v5. No team overloads their pairings in this way.

Hughes & Schmidt will play the most minutes without having to be together. There is these things called PP & PK.

Your math is off. Your math suggests 15mins TOI minimum for the 3rd pairing. That’s not good if Benn is on.
