Poor Connor.
Still not sure why Archibald is the guy getting the promotion to the top line. (Of course, last time I criticized that, he scored, so hopefully history repeats itself).
I would like to see Russell down and Benson up soon. Let's see if the kid can do anything at the NHL level. He's definitely not under-ripe now.

All the mouth pieces say February some time. Which I mean, close enough no? Wouldn’t be a bad play. That middle 6 had been playing well. Move Nealer over to Connor’s right side and bring up Benson to play on his left.

And what Yamamoto has shown us is that whether he's able to be a star or not, there's pieces on the farm that are better than what we have here. Wingers are an issue, and we have a guy who's actually outperforming Yamamoto in AHL stats who's 6 months older than Yamamoto and who is probably AT LEAST better than Patrick Russell who still has exactly 0 NHL goals in 36 NHL games (and only 4 assists) at age 27. It's time to call it for Russell - no matter how much the coaching stafff likes his work ethic - we need contributing wingers at the NHL level.
In 6 games, Yamamoto is only two points behind Archibald's 38 game production so I think there's a decent chance that Benson is a better fit in the top six than Archibald...It seems like a real mistake to saddle McDavid with a guy who halfway through the season is still in single digits in points.
