Favorite players don't get benched for a month and average 9:12 a night on ES.
Leier fell off the cliff after the first two months and Weise, well . . . nor was Read a viable option at ES.
Even with Lindblom up, you had Filppula, Simmonds, Raffl, Laughton and you had to dress two other forwards.
If Weal is one (at you Striiker!), then it's one of Lehtera, Leier, Weise or Read, all four of whom sucked the second half of the season.
And of course, Weal and Weise didn't play on the PK. Read was the best at PK, the worst at ES. Leier was awful at both in the new year, Lehtera was meh.
This year Lindblom, Simmonds, Raffl, Laughton, need two forwards to step up and glue Lehtera to the bench.
If you can't beat out Lehtera and Weise, you don't have a NHL future.
