Mikael Backlund - 2nd line/two way forward
16 GP - 6 points
22 min PP time
TOTAL: 6 points in 255 minutes of Ice Time.
Sven Baertschi - 1st/2nd line offensive forward
14 GP - 5 points
17 min PP time
TOTAL: 5 points in 194 minutes of Ice Time
So by trashing Joe Colborne, a third line two way forward because he has a low point total, you also trashed Backlund and Baertschi, two much more offensive players who we used 1st round picks on that have negligible point differences than Colborne.
Great job.

This post conveniently ignores the flip side. One player is being praised and given ample opportunity, while the other two are being crapped on and benched for the exact same results.
