Should Salo get a game off now and then

[CC321]

Salo is 38 and has a long history of injuries. The current season is compressed, with only a few days off. Should we let him sit now and then to let his body recover?

No, but I think his ice time should be managed better. Less PK time, bump up the ice time of the other guys a bit, especially with Aulie developing nicely.

 

[LightningStrikes]

I don't think we could afford that.

He's playing better than Brewer and Carle as long as he's on more than them that's fine with me.

 

[Felonious Python]

No, defensemen don't seem to benefit from sitting until they're like 42.

 

[InjuredChoker]

No as long as he's health allows and/or we are in the playoff race. He complements Hedman very well.

Vancouver did this a bit, but not much. I'd think it's a good idea closer to the playoffs.

That's if we make the playoffs.

Every other day like the rest of the team. I'd be afraid to give him a rest.

No, he'll just go out and get bitten by a snake or throw out his back bowling or something if we don't keep him in a controlled environment.
