I think the minutes would even out more with a competent 4L. Of course right now they play 7 minutes.
But they're also out there with a minute left in periods, he'll throw them out there after opposition icings with face offs in the O zone, generally he likes to use his 4L. Why not stretch that out a bit more.
And given Backlund's injury and maybe as he ages next year, its not the worst idea to have him in that role?
