With regards to the PK, let’s remember that the original point was that Hamonic was an elite penalty killer as evidenced by the team’s success in the PK. To me that’s the conclusion that has little support. It is a combination of a great many things.
I also don’t mind a Bennett scratch. I’m not a hater, the guy is an NHLer. But he is not above a healthy scratch now and then, as other players need to rotate in and the gap just isn’t that great between him and others, for a variety of reasons. His production is still replacement level.
