I really like Jordan Harris (22 CBJ). He is a left shot but he plays the right side. His advanced stats aren’t great but he has the skillset to play Mikkola.
Excellent article Colby. Losing both Montour and Stolarz was big at the time and now is rearing it's ugly head. The amount of minutes played by Ekblad and Forsling is insane. You are so right about having Nate Schmidt and Dmitry Kulikov rotating in on the second pairing next to Niko Mikkola. Plus I think when the Panthers establish their style of play from the start of the game it really eases the pressure on the defense. We need the forwards to play a two way game like Barkov to ease the pressure on the defense. February is closer than you think and I trust Zito will pull off some of his magic.

He is stylistically similar to Forsling.
