Also he has a higher OZ% start. I think that's literally it. He wants McDavid/Draisaitl useage and he's getting it in Florida.
Is he wrong? I dunno. But I don't think Sutter ideally uses his players like that. What is my personal belief? I think your superstars should be playing 20-22 mins a night. That's the amount of ice time these elite star players seem to be getting.
Huberdeau, Kadri, Lindholm should be seeing 20+ mins every night. But I'm most definitely not the coach.

I think it depends on your lineup. I know to many, the Flames suck and have no depth because they've lost a few straight, but the depth is strong and 3 lines deep. In a situation like that, you spread the ice around because any line from 1-3 can outperform the others. Kadri's line showed this at the start, then when they slowed down, Backlund and his line picked it up. Yet to see Huberdeau's line but it'll come.
