This. This is the issue with him being on the 3rd line. Brian Boyle is and has never been a good passer/playmaker. He just isn't, that isn't his game. He is a dump and chase, cycle, drive to the net, stand in front of the net type of player. He is not a puck possession player. Kreider needs a puck possession player. I'm not saying he has to be on the 1st line, but he needs to be playing with Stepan.
Callahan is a dump and chase, cycle, drive to the net, stand in front of the net type of player. Catch my drift? You put players with other players that fit their game. Stop with this ego BS about who has to play where because they are this.
