You can't expect your best players to be your best players if they are not being afforded the opportunity to do so.

I love the people saying play harder to earn ice time like ffs go back to when the season started from game 1 the complaint has been why is Huberdeau getting plugger like ice time.
There is absolutley zero reason Lucic should be getting 10-12 minutes a game, he is a 5-6 minute player. Apparently he earns his ice time by being a plug taking 2 strides and gliding into the neutral zone.
Last night Huberdeau was on, it was a time to get him extra shifts get him with Lindy and Toff instead we got Lucic. Huberdeau had 13 minutes of ice time and Lucic 11. The very last shift of the game Huberdeau and Lindholm out and Huberdeau gives him a great pass and he chases down the rebound but we ran out of time and Sutter said it was our best chance of the game and too late.
Yeah it was too late because the guy making those choices was too late.
Its evident he trying to stick it to the player.
Thats like paying someone 100K and asking them to do a job that takes 8 hours in 3 hours but blast them for not getting results in those 3 hours.
