Roy pimps everyone in the media. Even if he doesn't have a ton of confidence in them inside, he's still going to say nice things to the media because anything otherwise isn't his style.
Guenin plays 16 minutes a game, far less than anyone else on the defense, even Redmond when he plays. I don't think the Avs have a lot of confidence in Guenin, he just is decent on the PK (which hasn't been bad this year) and that's his only saving grace. His even strength TOI is very much limited.
Yea I know, and I think that's fine, it's just become a little funny to me because of how obvious it's become.
I agree on Guenin. Not just PK, but I think one of the main reasons he stuck in the lineup was to anchor for Barrie, because they needed Stuart to do the same for Holden. When they tried Guenin and Holden together it was a disaster.
Personally though, even though Holden's played some good games after EJ went down, I think they gave him too long a leash earlier compared to Redmond. I would have gone with a Stuart-Redmond 3rd pair over a Holden-Stuart pair, despite the fact Stuart plays better on the right. Not that it would have turned their season around any sooner, but I think it would have been a better pairing.
