Are all coaches just touchy about things that others tell them they should do? The Nuge-Drai-Yams thing might be like McLellan and playing Strome on McDavid's wing. Just can't do it, because it would seem like the coach gave into the media's pressure.

It's sure starting to look that way with Tippett, although he should be fine with it because it was him who came up with the trio to start.
To be fair to him, Draisaitl/Yamamoto/Kahun has probably been our best 5-on-5 line through four games and surprisingly, McDavid/Nugent-Hopkins/whoever has struggled a little more.
You wouldn't think taking the most skilled winger away from McDavid would be that helpful.

Wish we had a better idea of how to compliment McDavid. He badly needs some guys that can work the boards like he had with Maroon. Kassian is not very good along the boards. You'd think he would be, but he's not, like Lucic wasn't. Just being a big oaf unfortunately doesn't automatically mean being good at winning puck battles these days. Nuge is bad too. It's all just hoping for some McMagic with his line, like always.
Whoever is lucky enough to be on McDavid's line when McDavid turns it up to 11 and takes over the game solo becomes the guy that it appears he plays best with. Been a long time since we've actually had guys with him that actually compliment him well and consistently actually help create sustained pressure. I personally don't see a point to sticking to Nuge+McDavid. Like everything else lately, its success just depends on how well McDavid is playing.
