His linemates Ryan McLeod and Dylan Holloway have 28 shots and zip when it comes to goal cellys.“It’s concerning, yeah, it is a concern. It would be less if the ice-time was in the single digits but it’s not,” said Woodcroft.
While Brown is due a $3.25 million bonus for playing his 10th game on Saturday, when Nashville is here for an afternoon game, he’s not alone in that regard around the league, in terms of games played bonuses. Erne had signed a two-way deal after coming to training camp on a tryout. He dressed for six Oiler games, averaging a little less than eight minutes but only played 3:34 in the Heritage Classic Sunday. They want a different look in Gagner, who killed a lot of penalties while playing in Detroit after his trade there, before signing in Winnipeg, before his hip surgeries. He has more offensive upside.
“I didn’t help Adam much last game. I didn’t play him much because of all the penalties, the two five-on-threes took him out of the game,” said Woodcroft. “Some of the forwards at the bottom end of the lineup the ones who kept alive, were out there killing penalties.”
