You can't talk about earning icetime when plugs like Lucic are routinely eating up time, Ruzicka is consistently sitting and Coleman leads the team in five on five icetime. That's rich.
Andrew Mangiapane for example has averaged 18 minutes a night over the past 10 games and doesn't have a single point while being a -6. Likewise to Coleman who has 3 points in his past 15 games. These are the guy's eating up prime ice time and not performing when the team needs them.
You can't expect your best players to be your best players if they are not being afforded the opportunity to do so.
