75 and 71... are there two softer players in pro hockey?

Yeah Mcleod is so soft.. I've seen him twice in two games now go in on a D-man fore checking.. skating straight at him.. and just about on him.. almost within a stick length of causing a turnover.. D-man looks like he'll be eating the puck.. and he just freaking turns away and skates back up ice the opposite way.. like he's on auto-pilot with his brain turned off.. Then the D-man just passes it up and its in the Oiler zone for extended zone pressure.. the guy has no hockey instincts.

Majority of line up is pretty soft in general.. no physical play at all.. like tonight.. the ratio of receiving hits v. dishing out hits is probably 4 to 1.. there's a reason they've been out of the 1st round two years in a row, pushed off the puck, lost puck battles.. Kane was the only guy with any push back tonight.. and he's only been on the team for 2 months..

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
