Show Me What You Got!
Like I said weeks ago, I really have no idea where Mueller is going to play when he comes back. Greene certainly isn't coming out and shouldn't no matter how much hate he gets. Considering how long of a leash Moore has got in the past for playing like crap with this organization, he's certainly not coming out with the way he's played this year. And it would be a beyond dumb move to take a promising young defenseman like Butcher out who's excelled in his role and has helped the Power Play.
Unless they want to play one of their defenseman on their offside and take Santini out, Mueller will most likely sit the bench.
You can rotate guys on the right side out and shift Butcher over, or you just sit Butcher.
Honestly I think Butcher has deserved a game or two off over the last few games but we didn’t have any one to sub in for him. He is still learning the game, and is also a rookie. Occasional night off might benefit him.
It would do us good to try and keep our young D fresh if we really want to make a run at this. It wouldn’t be the worst idea to spot Greene a night off once in the blue too.
