Gotcha, that makes some sense. Thanks for clarifying.You are mistaken. He is fast and a decent forechecker, but "fairly physical" is not a description that fits him.
I think the issue is that the Sharks had a quite a few forwards that were legitimately 3rd liners but were playing throughout the top 9 because of a lack of depth. My sense is Grier has identified the players he wants for the actual 3rd line and is jettisoning those who he sees as not having the right skillset for that role.
Now, how does Grier plan on filling those holes?
