Regardless of how bad Sprong and Simon looked in their 3-4 minutes of ice time, the team has to do something soon with them because it's affecting Sully's ability to roll four lines and the ice time of other players...imo Cullen is playing way to much to start the season, as is Sid...this kind of thing will end in the same PO result we got last year...options
1) Play Simon and Sprong 10 min a night and be damned, let them play through their mistakes, accept the consequences will rarely be that they singlehandedly lose games...I mean, come on, JJ nearly lost last night's game, so Sully doesn't apparently have a problem with that
2) don't play either or one of them and play other players you trust...Grant or my preference--play Olek as a LW and move Ruh into his spot...will get his good offense while playing a D man who's better on defense right now
That's it...the current situation is untenable and neither of them should be placed on waivers...it's too early for a trade and they would have to be packaged with another player anyway if we were making a trade since neither of thenm hold much value
