Or. You want a fast line... Nygard-McD-Archi Neal is -15 on the season. Has been great on the PP, but that suggests a player who's struggling at even strength. Ideally, would be great to see him and Gagner on a third and fourth line, but there's a dearth of second-line players on this team - especially with Nugent-Hopkins out. With all the speculation out there, it is hard not to envision what a second line of Hall & Nuge could do for this team...although it is also hard to imagine the trade that results in Hall returning...

Poor Neal. He's actually a >50% COrsi player, and only -7 5v5. 54% high danger chance %. Lots of EN goals adding to that minus. PDO is 0.967 5v5 because of a 5% SH% when he's out there.

Hall-Nuge-Neal would probably be a really good line. It's that 3rd guy that keeps rotating that is the major issue with the 2nd line IMO. Need someone with some speed and playmaking ability for shooters Nuge and Neal.
