Yeah, he hasn't shown a lot yet, but at least it looks like he's going to get a chance tonight with a more skilled centre. My biggest reservation about Baertschi-Horvat-Vrbata is how they handle tough match ups. A rookie, a near rookie and a veteran who plays a finesse game will struggle against deeper teams unless Willie can keep protected and allow the Sutter line to take the more difficult matchups.
I'm not on the Sutter hate train, but if you want offensive players to succeed in offensive role, you need a C that is more creative with the puck than Sutter. Listen to the way Vrbata talks about Horvat but says basically nothing about Sutter.
Horvat's not in tonight....who are you expecting Sven to line up beside? Vey?
