That's pretty clear isn't it. Outside of the top 5 guys only Jurco is positive at +3. Haas & Chiasson are even, everyone else is minus. Goal share, shot share...the bottom half of the roster is getting caved in when they're on the ice 5v5.
Either we need a system tweak to make them more effective, or we need to start examining personnel. I heard some talk on the radio that guys like Benson or Yamamoto need to be top six to be successful, but that's old school thinking. More and more you're seeing teams adopt fast, young bottom sixes where you have guys trying to earn more icetime through offensive production. We don't need a bunch of guys that grind it out but don't push the play. If anything, that just exhausts the defence.
Worth noting - I'm not loving the shot generation from the back-end so far either. Klefbom's been really good. 9 points and 15 shots. Nurse has picked up where he left off too - 5 points and 9 shots so far. Bear & Persson have been alright - 7 shots each. Bear with a couple points but zeroes for Persson. Russell has three shots and one assist. Benning has a shocking ONE shot in seven games with two assists (I think both from opening night). Manning had the goal and a couple shots last night, but his sample size is so small it's almost not worth mentioning.
Some of that is deployment. The bottom pairing is getting sent out more with the bottom half the roster, and they don't threaten the other net much. But still...four shots from that D-pairing in seven games is UGLY.
Strange additional stat - all the Oilers D-men are between -2 and +2 other than Matt Benning, who's +6... I'm not sure what to make of that. It's pretty impressive.
