Not sure it would be less wear and tear. It's pretty much the same minutes if he's playing top 4 since we don't have a clear top pairing that would play 25-30min/game.
I think Strals could do at least as well as anyone else on the team playing that role, injuries aside.
Maybe... Giving strals 18-20 minutes instead of 23-25mins is a pretty big difference over a season. Depends on how he feels. I remember him saying he's not quite 100% yet.
