Completely agree. As much as I am a BIG Jesse Puljujarvi fan, I really don’t like he makeup of that second line. Who transports the puck? Who’s the driver? Do they just dump it in and Ennis/JP try to get it back on the forecheck?
Also, Turris? Man. It’s too bad they didn’t keep McLeod up here.

I don't like the make up of the second line either. I have said it before, Nuge is good top 6 winger not a good top 6 center in my opinion. Nuge is a complimentary player and you can't be an effective center when you are a complimentary player. I see the driver on that line being JP and that is a problem in my opinion because I look at JP as basically a rookie this season and asking him to drive the line isn't fair to him in my opinion. Not saying he can't but just a lot to ask of him. I am hoping putting McD and Leon on the same line is just to get those 2 going again as they came out of the Leafs series looking a bit defeated. The Oilers are a superior team when they are broken up.
I was hoping that Turris's scratch time was the reset he needed to get going. So far, he has done nothing and is just a placeholder for Archie. If Turris doesn't want to get buried, he better figure it out real quick.
