Exactly what you want is that your soft small guys are off the charts in the skilled department.... Brodie, Gaudreau and Hudler fit that bill.....
Frolik has not shown the top level skill that justifies his non-contact style of play.

So Cammalleri, Tanguay, Baertschi (who was never really in the lineup), Stempniak, Butler and Bouwmeester were replaced with:
Gaudreau, Byron, Raymond, Granlund (played more games than Baertschi), Colborne, Russell, Diaz and Schlemko
and Hudler had a career year.
Yeah, I totally see your point there.
