Agreed, but when scoring is tough to come by something needs to be done. It makes no sense playing Byron, Bouma and even Jooris above Stajan at this point in time. The best thing for the team is Stajan in the top 9 IMO.Stajan has shown consistently he produces better playing with better mates. He's not a guy that will make others around him better, but he can play anywhere in your lineup and usually match who he's playing with. The thing is I think Hartley loves having Joe play C due to his size.
Also in the past we've argued about kids being scratched and some of us (myself included) have brought up that being in the press box gives a young player a difference perspective on the game? Thought this quote from Gaudreau was awesome regarding that, this is from the same piece where we learned Churros was injured.
While Gaudreau acknowledged that he was disappointed not to be on the ice on Friday night, he did make the most of the experience, trying to glean as much information as possible from his vantage point.
"It was a different view of the game, up from the top you see the whole ice surface and where their five guys are, where our five guys are.
"You can tell and can see the little differences that you can't tell on the ice. I think that perspective really helped me out."
