if only it were that simple to institute that pure meritocracy (god I hate that word). unfortunately, cap hit and egos will always get in the way, and they're more worried about keeping those high priced guys happy than adjusting ice time strictly on corsi.
Duha said this morning that Cammy will likely be more effective on the top line simply because he feels that's where he should be. it's just going to be the way it is until the older guys retire, trade/sign somewhere else, or re-sign here with cheaper contracts.
