He was. In fact, he showed that he can maybe be more than a 4th line energy guy. So for the sake of his development, it's better for him to play 15-18 min a night for the Hogs than not even crack 8 for the Hawks (not to mention being 1 missed play away from the press box). Ok, kinda unrelated, but this made me think back to a question I had the other night.... I'm still a relative newbie fan. I don't know as much about hockey as I'd like to. I know Quenneville is big on shuffling lines mid game, and changing what players are active and which aren't game to game. Is that pretty normal for hockey coaches to do, or is that a quirk of coach Q?
