Sutter likes him because he doesn’t complain about being given that ice time. Of course he’s not getting the minutes of the top line, or of the line charged with shutting down the opposing top line (Backlund’s). Sutter doesn’t hand out minutes like treats - he asks his players to do certain jobs.
Thing is - he’s not going to be a healthy scratch. That’s laughable.
