I’m having a hard time seeing Rod use Vatanen very high, even if he’s the appropriate choice. He was brought it for emergency injury purposes and Dougie is back, when Vatanen was likely a pp1 option when acquired. Rod has to trust guys, and now is a tough time for any coach to break someone in. I think he’ll be third pairing to start and maybe not playing at all - only because Rod is Rod and not because I think it makes sense. I know we’re still short Pesce but he’s got an extra now, and he’s been unafraid to force guys to play the wrong side.
Itll be interesting to see where he plays vs Fleury. Rod’s distrust of a young guy vs a new guy....which will win out?!?
Hopefully he makes a good debut, quick starts are important for Rod.
