But that goes back to usage and role. I think we can all agree Sprong's not be good defensively. So why is Sullivan starting him 70% in the defensive zone?
Sprong's usage should actually be the inverse of what he's getting (70/30 for Ozone rather than 30/70).
Problem is that Sprong has done nothing in the offensive zone to warrant those starts. If we were starting Gladams in the ozone over Sprong, you'd have a point. But we aren't. Instead, we are starting Jake, Rust, Kessel, Hagelin, Hornqvist. Do any of those players deserve less Ozone starts vs Sprong?
I totally get the fit argument, but after 7 games it's clear that Sprong is doing NOTHING to modivate Sully to get him more minutes that suit his skills.
