Richardson and Lewis, Pitlick to a lesser degree, know their role and keep their mouth shut.
Darryl brought them in specifically because he trusts those guys to do a certain role on the squad, and do it well and do it consistently…and he knows they will do both, because in Richardson and Lewis’s case, they have gained Sutter’s trust by doing that exact same role for him previously on the Kings.
They aren’t going to try anything different or more or new, like a rookie trying to make an impression may do after getting frustrated playing the basic role of Richardson for 3 games.
