If we were battling for a playoff spot, on a great run of wins, or all other LW's are humming at their minutes and we don't want to tinker? Then maybe i get it.
But the team is floundering. This is the chance to run him out there over and over and over. PP1? Yep. Late in the game? Yep.
It's kid gloves yes. But teammates will understand why he gets more minutes.
There is a great player in there somewhere.
