I don't see really anyone advocating to sit Acciari, it's just if the group ever gets 100% healthy, someone's gotta sit. Donato's emergence has made the line combos less obvious, as there's not a clear weakest forward.I don't understand why people want to send Acciari up to the press box for the playoffs.
He's been solid all year and he's a key part of our 2nd PP pair with Schaller.
I just don't get it.
When the team was at its best this year, the lines were
Marchand-Bergeron-Pasta
DeBrusk-Krejci-Nash
Heinen-Nash-Backes
Schaller-Kuraly-Acciari
If we have all those guys healthy, which is a huge if, where does Donato fit in?
One of Donato or Acciari is going to be the 13th. Wingles, in my mind, is the 14th, Gionta the 15th.
