All you have is an appeal to authority.
Again, of course they're putting their big acquisition into big minutes and trying to let him play himself out of it. It would be bizarre if they didn't do that. And it's what they freaking should be doing. When important players struggle, you have to try and let them play out of it.
But he's been bad on the PP, bad on the PK, generated nothing at ES, and has 6 points in 13 games with a -5 despite all the icetime and opportunity that's been handed to him.
And again, your hypocrisy is ridiculous. You've spent the year freaking out when Tocchet gives Mikheyev minutes and responsibility but when he does it with Lindholm 'obviously they see how fantastic and amazing he is!' Come on, man.
And for the umpteenth time, it's not 3 weeks. He's been playing like this for the whole season. He was struggling badly in Calgary. And he wasn't great last year, either.
