Weird, it won't allow me to put the video with a direct link, it's on the Sportsnet landing page, scroll a bit down.

What say you?
I generally agree with Doug MacLean, I think he's one of the more logical analysts (as analysts go) and I do understand his argument, I can't subscribe to it though.
I don't care if Nylander doesn't score more than 5 goals in a season, the goal should be wins and the Stanley Cup. He made his bed, he has been WELL compensated for taking his position. I don't begrudge him, I don't question the reasons, but, I say, "you don't just get to play with Matthews, you earn it" He didn't do yourself any favours by sitting out.
In time, maybe he will earn the Right to be on his line, but right now, I say no. To ANY player on this team who might venture into this forum, play to win. Put the team first, put your name on the Cup and then we can have discussions about what Babcock should or shouldn't do. Even when I disagree with Babcock, I have to trust him, he's earned it. His faith in this defense for instance, which as a team has certainly improved; is one such example.
