while I never have expectations for a 4th line player to be terrific puck handlers, finishers or dishers, Acciari brings little to that line, it`s all Kuraly and Wagner who both know how to handle the puck. Last night`s game alone, 4 separate occasions, puck on the stick of Acciari, play dies immediately. He (Acciari) IMO, brings next to nothing and the fact Butch just pushes him over the boards seamlessly is disturbing
No issues if Backes plays well in that spot and makes that 4th line wing position his. Acciari was a big part of them turning it around in that Pitt game though we haven't seen the 4th line play well without him. But you aren't moving Backes if hes a scratch for 20 straight games even this summer after his bonus's are paid and we eat salary.
I'd like to see Fitz play for one of JFK/Heinen/Donato but I don't know what the waiver implications would be.
