Injuries happen, but yeah I think the top 5 will be getting pretty equal ice time. It will be up to the coaching staff to put them in positions to succeed, Ward has the tools hopefully he can put them to use properly.
Ward is the only part of this season I’m iffy about. If Ward fails, I liken it to the way Treliving kept getting stop gaps at the goaltender position and think he goes out and big game hunts the best guy on the market like Markstrom.
