If they had protected Gio and exposed Monahan they would have also had to expose two more forwards.
Remember it was 7-3 or 8 skaters.
So under the 8 skaters you in theory are going Gio, Andersson, Tanev and Hanifin on the back end plus Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Eat Bread
Exposing Monahan, Backlund and Dube.
Even if you are comfortable with Monahan and Backlund being exposed, are you comfortable exposing Dube?
