the overall team numbers are... not great. but it's only one month so whatever, for now.So that's a wrap on October, and it ain't pretty. Just mediocre through and through.

holy fuck our bottom six is fugly.
Kampf and Reaves are really disasters.
Kampf really should have 2 roles and 2 roles only. Taking d zone faceoffs against non top lines (with guys who aren't 4th line wingers would be nice) and obviously taking faceoffs to start OT.
Other than that it should be 4th line shifts only and even those should be mixed and matched out based on situation (Double shifting Auston when we're down a goal, etc).
15+ minutes a game last season and even 13+ minutes a game this season in negligence on Sheldon's part.
Our top 6 are already playing heavy minutes. Something like 13 MPG for the 3rd line and 8 MPG for the 4th line is what hockey teams do.15+ minutes a game last season and even 13+ minutes a game this season in negligence on Sheldon's part.
Holy fuck guys stfu
for the 3rd line
Kampf should absolutely be on the 4th line, but we don't have a 3C.
Fair enough, Jarny and Domi have been suggested and I'm down with that, but it's a big ask to make a long-term winger suddenly shift to C so I can see why a coach wouldn't want to make a major "panic" move this early. Not an easy decision but I think we all agree that whatever the answer is here, it's not Kampf.I'd argue that we have multiple players who have played C at the NHL level who are significantly better suited to a 3C role than Kampf is though.
The bar is low, but no guarantee Jarnkrok, Domi, or even Nylander at C would be a step up. It probably is a step up, but not guaranteed!
