I hate altering data ... i.e. taking knowledge of the Flames and moving them around to fit what I think the deployment is, while leaving the rest of the league as a sort.
So I left the players in order of ice time from 1-12
So for example Ruzicka's first game at 5 minutes has him in the bottom three for now ... will change with a few more games though (assuming he doesn't get demoted).
It does paint out the the team's top eight as getting tight ice time, but a level above the rest.
