...and? Don't leave us hanging!
Puck retrieval is one of those things that Perreault (and recently, Connor) excel at. If Ehlers could perform a similar role, he'd be more apt to be swapped from line to line, IMO.
I think Ehlers has proved very capable of playing up and down the lineup. If I remember correctly ESW produced even better than the current CSW. IMO the issue becomes noticeable when him and Laine are together because it's both of their weaknesses. You can't have two players sitting back when you don't have the puck.
