Different things are expected of different players. Freddy can use his size to become more effective at the role that he currently plays which is going up against 4th lines and on the PK. That is his path to the NHL.
Marner-Gauthier-Marleau should have had a look, u have 2 speedy wingers and Gauthier can play a defensive role on that line~ Gauthier works harder than Bozak, imo is clearly better right now~ Even if they have a bigger plan in place, it would not have hurt to have a look~ Kapanen must feel tortured to some degree~
Bozak and JVR appear to not be expected by coach or team-mates to relatively show up each night and put in effort~ That room should be tearing into them more than any other 2 players on the team~
