I guess but it’s not really like our top 2 lines are even top 2 lines. Plus there’s lots of room to shuffle guys “down” the lineup. In fact, are there any forwards playing well? I guess Huberdeau has been looking a bit better. Toffoli has been… okay…… but ya pretty much all the rest have been brutal. Is Coleman even an NHL player right now? I bet Phillipsnis legitimately better than some / majority of these guys.
It’s crazy how much name pedigree buys some guys. If you watch the games, they aren’t that good. That 4th line last night was horrible, for example.
For example, if you sent down Coleman / Mangiapane / Dube / Kadri since game 10 / Lewis / Lucic / Rooney / Backlund since game 8-10, etc. would any of them lead the AHL in scoring? Highly, highly doubtful. Even Lindholm looks quite useless about 90% of the time.
