Nah. Just needs put in the right position to succeed.

It's not on this team. Sid and Geno are too old to have an even older winger, this ain't 2009 when we had Billy G. And we also don't have enough wingers to give him any.

So I had on The Fan going to pt today and a caller had a point that made me a bit curious... how would Letang and EK work on this team together? Both are pretty used to averaging 25 minutes a game. Which is great to have, but since they almost certainly won't pair up together... is our 3rd pairing going to average 10 minutes or less a game?

Not against an EK trade or being on the team (salary retained and blah blah blah considering), but which one of them is going to take less minutes? And Hell, who gets the #1 powerplay spot, or do they both?

It wouldn't be the worst thing for Letang if they backed off his minutes. But I don't think it's that big a deal. They'll likely both get top PP time. And 2nd RHD usually gets 20-22 minutes anyways. I'm actually more worried about Letang having to kill penalties more again.
