Maybe Maurice wants to see if O'Dell can make that 4th line viable? We all know that Thor-Slater-Peluso won't see more than 6 minutes of icetime.
The 4th line isn't viable with the type of talent that Maurice keeps playing on it and as long as the 4th line isn't viable any long term success of the Jets isn't either. The team simply cannot sustain having a line that only plays 5-7 minutes a night and produces nothing from playing that time.
