Right I see what you mean. My point is that he was misused when Lucic was playing in the top 6, I think he stayed there for far too long and Ruzicka should have been given another shot before Pelletier call up.

Right now my preference is to switch the lines to what I mentioned above, that is my number one preference. If those lines don’t click, then my next preference would be to get Ruzicka up into the top 9.

Regarding the other point, I think Ruzicka can contribute on the 4th line but Sutter asks players to play a specific way that he wants him to play and I don’t think Ruzicka is a good 4th line player under what Sutter wants him to be.

Not all players need to be good 4th liners to get moved up in the line up, sometimes they just need to be given the opportunity based on their skill set. I think Ruzicka is fine on the 4th line but he is not going to contribute offensively under sutter because the players he plays with don’t suit his style much, and you can see form the way he is playing on that line himself that he is just dump and chasing because that’s what sutter wants from his 4th line.

He plays a completely different game when he is in the top 9, that just tells me that Sutter asks him to be a player that he is not
