Nearly half of the Islanders forward group is giving the team absolutely nothing. Yesterday, the Islanders ran out these line combinations: Lee-Barzal-Eberle, Beauvillier-Nelson-Bailey, Ladd-Pageau-Dal Colle, Martin-Brassard-Komarov.
There are seven forwards that I'm comfortable with right now in that lineup. The top-six is fine, and JG Pageau is good, but the rest of the bottom six is an utter disaster.
Starting with Andrew Ladd he has just three games under his belt with no points this season. With 29 games over the past two seasons, it's fair to say he is pretty ineffective for this team.
