Overall that means less time in their own zone, and better metrics in games for the last 8 contests.

So he sinks the second line so it's better to keep him there because it's not as bad him destroying the 4th line.
So let's just keep trotting out a crappy player because why? How about the 3rd option he sits in the press box and sinks no lines.
