(And yes, I'm aware Schlemko played 18 per night in Arizona, but his waiver status indicates to me that he didn't do it reliably).

Sounds like the near-term approach is to spread the minutes. So in that case he can help, and probably more than a guy like Potter. If you can put him out there 12/13 minutes that's 4 minutes more than Potter just skated.
