The NHL is a tough league to play defense. I'm all for giving someone else an opportunity, but I don't want to throw everyone we have out just because they aren't the absolute best player ever. If you can play 20 minutes a night competently, you're pretty valuable.

Or Smid/Brodie got healthy and they didn't have room for any other young guys to come in.
