Yet here we sit all year long having debates about "what has he done to earn his chance".

For pity's sake, we iced a team last year that played Troy Brouwer for 76 games - he did nothing - nothing, for 76 friggin' games. Matt Stajan played 68 games, and did nothing. Matt Bartkowski, Chris Stewart, Tanner Glass...call it a lack of depth or whatever, but we had better options at the NHL and AHL level to play those minutes. It was pure idiocy that the players mentioned above were played as much as they are/at all.

"Who else could they play"

Eatbread, Foo, Kylington, Andersson, Wotherspoon...if you trust your head coach, you trust them to help young kids along at the NHL level. I'm hoping we see a lot more youth and speed injected into the line-up under Peters.

Hell the Vegas team of misfit toys is showing what a bunch of guys who were deemed "Surplus" can do when trusted with bigger roles and responsibilities.
