I remember Martin St. Louis talking about this tactic when he was in Tampa. He said he was on the 4th line and getting scratched, then one day Torts just out of the blue put him on the top line and there was no way he was going to let it slip away.

I can't see any other reason they'd keep him up.. I don't think he's the answer but I want him to get a decent shot. He can't be worse that what we have right now.
