And so that's certainly not going to get it done.

I mean, part of it is not having particularly Rupert Hintz available.

I think his speed would help a lot down the middle, but also Tyler Sagan as well.

And so their depth has really been whittled down.

And ultimately, you look at that combination of Mikko Rantan and Wyatt Johnston.

They're so talented that you don't necessarily need sparkling underlying numbers from them to win their minutes.

We know Mikko Rantan is probably going to outscore his expected goal shares, but they're getting absolutely caved in against the Kaprizov unit in particular.

And so they're going to need to figure that out here pretty quickly on the fly.

I know they're making some personnel changes heading into this game.

They're scratching our guy Tyler Myers after... He only played 14 minutes in Game 5.

It was arguably the worst 14 minutes you're ever going to see.

And I know...

Like a lot of Cody Ceci playoff minutes are going to call that into question.

But man, he took a couple penalties.

He turned the puck directly over to where a goal against was on the ice for another one where he got beaten and it was just catastrophic.

So he's out of the lineup.

They're bringing in Michael Bunting as well.

And those are those were their two

big trade deadline additions.

And so really there's a lot on the line here for Michael Bunting in game six to validate what Jim Nill did at the deadline because if they lose and he doesn't do anything in this one, it's going to be a pretty bleak sort of autopsy in terms of reflecting on what they did.
