Do you think we'd see more scoring opportunities generated at ES if Barrie was lined with Nurse again on that top pairing?

McDavid with Bouchard - 42 minutes - 4 goals for, 1 goal against - expected GF 70.19%
McDavid with Barrie - 46 minutes - 3 goals for, 4 goals against - expected GF 47.44%
Thinking no. Barrie wasn't that good last year at even strength either. McDavid propped him up all last season.
I appreciate that he maybe took a discount to stay here, but he really needs to up his game. And I don't think he deserves that top pair spot at all. He doesn't even really deserve the top PP spot. Even Nurse has looked better on the PP with McDavid. Bouch could probably be even better than that.
Nurse+McDAvid PP - 3 goals for in 4 minutes!! (20 xGF/60)
Barrie+McDavid PP - 6 goals for in 22 minutes. (12 xGF/60)
McDavid+Nurse scored at a higher rate on the PP last year to vs McDavid+Barrie.
File all this stuff under "things coaching/management could have figured out last season".
