I didn't watch the game as I was in and out of meetings. I just looked at the crazy amount of penalties they took today and that makes sense.
I generally know the answers to the questions I'm asking. I just find it mildly amusing that garbage players like Sedlak and Hyka who are always holding Kravtsov back, manage to see so much TOI and produce at the levels that they do.
I think it's true that Sedlak isn't as naturally talented as Kravtsov or Hyka. But, he also plays in such a way as to open up things for his line mates, not totally dissimilar from what Fast would do for Strome and Panarin. For every chance Sedlak flubs, I think he helps create one by serving as the hard-working, physical, strong on the boards presence on the line. Again, like how Fast would miss the empty nets but would also allow Panarin and Strome to do a lot of really creative things.
