The bottom two lines of the Wranglers definitely didn't get used much last year, but that was mostly, I think, because they had so many players called up, and so many injuries, that they spent a big chunk of the season with ECHL-grade filler on the bottom lines. Unfortunately, the AHL's official website doesn't appear to track time on ice, so I can't really confirm that suspicion with numbers. I did notice, when I got to see the Wranglers live, that they leaned heavily on their top players.
