you are having trouble reading, so i will simply copy paste the part from my previous post where i said that the middle six is "relatively undifferentiated and interchangable". also bertuzzi has been playing second line rw btw.I never said there was no difference in ice-time. Your whole argument is that there is a significant enough difference in ice-time to assert that going from the 1st line from the 3rd can only ever be viewed as a "promotion" because of the increase in ice-time but the distribution of ice-time is basically the same for most of the team's top-6 at even strength and even Mikheyev, who's been on the third line for all but one game of the season, plays about as much as Hall and Bertuzzi to the point of any difference being negligible at best.
