if it was all about maximising your roster Pomo would have atleast tried to split 26/55 last season.
So maximising with a few untouchables ...
i agree that a coach should try to maximise his roster and Nik’s versatility bites his own butt from time to time that way.
I don’t think Pastrnak would have become the player he is today, if his coach had bumped him up and down the line-up for no apparent reason and lined him up with Chris Thorburn for a fourth of his rookie season.
I dont mind Ehlers on the second line. What irritates me is that he, no matter how well it goes, is being demoted again and again. Also no pp1 time, but I think Pomo is having the right pp1 lined up. Unfortunate for Ehlers
