1st line has performed just fine with a defensive "liability"
Is that defensive liability a C? Cause it's the most demanding position in Julien excellent D system.
Don't get me wrong. I want Spooner on the team. But he has to learn to be better in his own end. He looked clueless a couple times against the Habs and didn't know what to do.
But as a 4th line C, he will likely be more in the other end against other teams 4th line. The problem is, on the road, can he handle the Crosby/Getzlaf like Campbell and Merlot were able to do? I don't think so. He needs to work on this.
