Hey, you guys remember when someone said McLeod would be better on the wing?

..The design of him driving into the offensive zone can be recreated more often if he's a winger, where his speed can be better utilized as a weapon, vs a center, where his speed is more utilized defensively.

You did.. but to be fair I don't think he's been scoring off the rush very much..
The biggest change seems to me is he's with better players, 2 guys that can retain puck possession and shoot/pass the puck.. opposition has to focus on them in the opposition zone.... McLeod is finding the vacant places that result.. and starting to hit the net.. big credit to him
He's a good compliment to Leon.. Leon is not as fast.. having MacLeod skate the puck up into the O-zone and set up a possession cycle is a huge benefit.. takes a big load off of Leon.. they seem to spend less time in the D-zone now.. that line is starting to find some offensive chemistry.. interesting to see how they do the rest of the season 👍🏻

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,
