Most people forget that Johnny was scratched by Hartley 5 or 6 games in his rookie season. I think we undervalue the press box perspective for a game or two, as well as lighting a fire under the player. I’ve no doubt both Dube and Valimaki are going to get positive results from this in the long term.
