Because no one has had the opportunity to grab that position. I understand some players have underwhelmed like Ruzicka, but we have had a few chances to try some lineups and he has been stubborn to try it.
Is Kadri going to play with Backlund on his wing? What was the point of that?
If the players have sucked in practice they might show more in a game, its preseason we can try it for a game. Sometimes players show better in game settings.
Its disappointing to look at the team and say no one has popped, but you can't pop when you have no ammo.
Look at the Edmonton game, Eakin is playing with Dube and Rooney who have their positions cemented on the team, and Milano is playing with Zary and Schwindt to guys who got sent down yesterday. Who got the better opportunity?
