Every time this team talks about young players and bringing them along at the NHL level all you hear about is they are going to put them in positions to succeed and not have them on 4th lines and bottom pairings. For what it’s worth, it’s more than just this regime.
But here we are, seemingly every time, watching promising prospects buried on 4th lines and not put into positions to help them and the team in areas they actually can contribute.
If Beckman and Addison are going to be up, why are they not seeing PP over the likes of Brodin, Bjugstad, Hartman, Gaudreau, etc? Especially against what is a non-factor team like Ottawa. This is the type of game you have them go have fun and get some confidence.
