This is exactly right. I really don't see any value to a guy like Westgarth (especially when McGrattan is on the ice at the same time). Sure, he seems like a nice guy and stands up for his teammates, but having him and Grats on the ice together usually means a lot of work for the goaltender. I'd much sooner have consistent 4th liners like Bouma and Galiardi who can play hockey while bringing some energy. McGrattan is still there if the muscle is needed.
