I would think having guys like Setoguci and Jones in the pressbox rotation might snap them into focus a bit. You watch Gaudreau and Jooris getting your minutes, you see your chances to keep earning NHL paycheques evaporating, it might be just what the doctor ordered to shake these guys out of apathy.
If we manage to have kids supplanting vets while those vets are playing above replacement level, it's found money.
