Legwand got moved to the 4th line by babcock almost immediately. I don't think a 4th line player was critical to making the playoffs that year and I don't think a forth line rental player was worth a prospect with decent trade value and 2 second round picks.
Not true.
Legwand averaged 16:16 TOI a night in Detroit. He was moved to the 4th line, for a handful of games, when our injured players began returning to lineup.
