Brouwer was on the intermission today talkingabout the Senators' youth... about all the youth on those great Blackhawks teams... I don't think it's a coincidence. You gotta trust the kids in expanded roles.

And I think that's right to my point... instead of taking what might be a risk in giving Kylington or Kulak that rope, they've intstead opted repeatedly to spend assets on guys who are mediocre known quantities.
And that extends to other parts of the lineup, too — why Nordstrom and Robinson are playing over guys like Phillips and Philp is beyond me.
