I think it's easier to "wear down" the other team by playing in their zone and getting shots up. I don't think our "large" guys - Bollig, Engelland, Smid have been or will be wearing anyone down... their combined -29 probably rejuvenates the competition.
Either way
1) We should let Treliving evaluate such if, when, and after we make the playoffs. We're not talking about a core piece here.
2) We should similarily expect some of the people with championship experience, Bob Hartley ('01 Avs), Gelinas ('90 Oilers), Burke ('07 Ducks) to address such an issue if and when it pops up. They haven't given any indication that he's not right for the team right now.
