Tyler Myers, listen, he's been in a third-pair role with Liam Bischel.

There's times where I'm watching that pair, and I'm like, ooh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

What?

They've been okay.

You know, like they've survived.

Myers is the reason Zuccarello's not playing.

It was the elbow to the head in the first period of game one.

Zuccarello stayed in that game, but then he has not played since.

But, listen, Myers has been okay.

You know, he's a third pair defense, right?

So he's not eating the hardest minutes right now, but Quinn Hughes has been exactly what you would expect Quinn Hughes to be.

And like I said,

It was 43-plus minutes.

I think it was 43-47 last night.

He never played that much in a game, and this is a guy that plays 27, 28 minutes a night regularly.

You know, it's a great question.

I wish I had a good answer for you.

There's a belief from the owner and Chris Drury, the general manager, they have talked about a plan to retool.

I think they're eyeing a bottom six in their retool.

To me, their top six is where they need to get more dynamic.
