let me get this straight. you are saying:
roster that isn't making the playoffs > roster that made the playoffs?
lol sure
Mac and Grabo were not top 6 forwards when we made the playoffs, in his lineup, they were top 6 forwards. Neither of them have been top 6 forwards on a playoff team.
Bolland is not better than Grabovski though.
Sure he is. Grabo/Bolland would be used in a third line role, and Bolland is the most effective.
Every team Grabo has been a top 6 forward on, has missed the playoffs. It wasn't until we reduced his minutes and his role that we made the playoffs.
