It's ridiculous that you'd want to have someone who's never played in the league on the second pairing as the NHL is faster and more skilled than anything Nakladal has ever played in. Not much debating that one...

I think it was more not subjecting hamilton to playing with wideman then it was putting Nakladal on the second pairing. Engelland is more of a stay at home guy that allows Hamilton to jump onto the rush. Nakladal is also a stay at home guy (with a cannon for a shot) that would allow Wideman to join the rush. Had a hard time putting Smid with anyone.
