Which IMO he should as SB just isn't playing well enough to warrant those minutes as he is on a 26 point pace...yet again. On a team that scores goals at a greater pace than every other team in the league but 2.

I would agree if they had a 45 point player to replace him, but do they? I don't think Frolik is that anymore.
If they want to build a shut down line Frolik is the better option, if they want the speed/forecheck a motivated Bennett is the better option.
Neither would be needed if Neal was a fit there.
