With the Leafs defensive ineptitude, Carlyle seems desperate for Fraser to be like he was last year, rather than the 6/7/AHL guy he probably actually is.
But he also seems to like to give really long leashes to certain guys. Fraser, Ranger, Kostka last year
And for a while (if not still) his 4th line was getting less than 5 minutes per game.
