Sarich is what he is ... a 7th D. When we get Gio and Cundari in the lineup he doesn't dress.

Given that Smith is out, I would probably pull Babchuk and Carson from the lineup (although I thought Carson was good tonight) and play Cundari and Sarich in the bottom pairing slot.
From what I have read Cundari prides himself on playing with that physical edge like Sarich, and could probably learn a thing or two. If nothing else, Sarich is a true professional and has proven to be a good influence on younger defencemen.
I always think of how good the 3rd pairing of Brodie-Sarich was over the last several years.
