Man Kahun is useless, slow, dopey, out of shape. McD needs someone better on wing. 
 
MacLeod had it, almost first goal, should have shot. Great set up by Neal, Neal doesn't have the wheels but he's got the smarts and hands. 
 
Pulju same thing great chance, bobbled it.

It’s not just that he currently doesn’t have the chops to be there.  
 
He will never have the chops to be there.

And yet he's been a top 6 winger all season pretty much. Yams has had a tough season but at least he's noticeable and generates possession and scoring opportunities.

Lots of OIL domination that period...  but nothing from anyone except for the usual suspect.  And now the NUCKS can think they are still in the one.

I don't blame Kahun for that.  I don't even blame Tippett for that.  We have five top six forwards.  So someone has to play up.   
 
He's probably got close to the best offensive instincts of the rest of them.  Jeff Carter would have been a good pickup too for that spot.

I'd move MacLeod up, he PK's really well, is defensively responsible, not going to be a liability with McD, better tools than Kahun, replace MacLeod at center with Haas, move Kahun out. Kahun is burning McD minutes.

I still want to see him start having SOME nose for the net.  Another game with no shots tonight.  I think that takes him to 7 games played with only 2 shots on goal.  He's deferring when he's out with Chiasson - so can you count on him to shoot when out with McDavid?  I think he could be there eventually, but I don't know if he's there yet.

he's playing center right now, focused on being defensively responsible, covering for slow wheelers like Chaisson and Neal, I'm pretty sure if he gets up on the wing with McD he'll be taking more shots knowing he doesn't have to worry about 4 on 2's going back the other way as much. He  carries the puck much better than Kahun, the puck dies on Kahun's stick every shift, guy can't carry the puck without coughing it up, McD could use another guy to make plays with.

Greasy play by Bear to create an offside that eventually nullified that goal.
