I would play Wiercioch 40 minutes if I had to for him to put up some points and get some confidence going. Murray has given you the D to work with, so you better get them going somehow.
Wiercioch ended the season last year so well, I want to see him get some goals and get some confidence going.
Also - for the love of goodness, the wingers must get back deeper into the zone to help the Ds breakouts.
And finally...free Pageau. Put Pageau on the top line and let Lazar C the 3rd line. Pageau's too good to be Cussing around with Chiasson and Michalek - both of whom have what...4 points between them?
I'd rather put Wiercioch on the 3rd pairing before giving him 40 minutes. He's not like a $7M player who's done it before many times and you want to kick start him. Wweircioch has had a half a good season, he still needs to earn his ice time. Cowen has played better, so reward him.
As for Pageau, agree completely. I don't think playing center (face offs and dishing out the puck) is what he excels in on that line -- don't think that line will suffer with Lazar in his place. Pageau has 4 goals (two shorties) and no assists; I'm pretty sure he'd have a couple assists if he got promoted to the top line instead of Lazar. I don't understand that move at all -- putting Lazar on the top line. Boggles the mind.
