At this rate, Duehr is lucky his +/- isn’t worse. Bad things happen when he’s on the ice more often than pretty much any other player, and good things happen less.
He’s the 13th forward and playing like it. And while it’s not like we should expect more if you look at it solely based on contract, we’ve definitely seen more. With Pelletier on his way back in a couple months his days are numbered as is, but it’s worth asking if time to bring back Coronato (who is doing well in the AHL) or give another rookie a taste of the NHL and see if they can make more of it than Duehr is currently.

It's a shame ... because he looked like a guy that could push into the third line last year for large stretches.
