Guys like Kadri will earn their extra time on the PP.
Guys like Backlund will earn their extra time on the PK.
Huberdeau seems to be getting time on both PP and PK.

I'm not talking 5 on 5 only, I'm talking overall ice. Someone will get lost in teh shuffle with this forward group, not enough ice to keep everyone happy. Zary isn't looking at just his 5 on 5 ice, he wants more ice so he can earn a big pay day. Opportunities at center, PP, PK could all be important to him. It won't work for everyone if you put good players on the 4th line. Maybe if they are 1st year guys that just are happy to get their crack.
