Pat Maroon’s job is secure for right now, but he still needs some work done around the edges. This season’s been a large drop-off in production for him (which was bound to happen - his linemates are significantly different in St. Louis than they were in Edmonton or New Jersey), so while in Dallas today he decided to get some work in.
Ok.
With Alexander Steen, Tyler Bozak, and Robert Thomas out, Maroon is going to find his ice time on the uptick, but he won’t be the only player. You lose key cogs, you have to all step up.
