I was sitting next to a scout at UBS during preseason and Laf took that exact shot on the PP with no traffic and I said to the scout, "fans actually want to break up PP1 for him". We laughed. Wasn't so funny tonight though.

Because of guys like Fox. Let's play perimeter catch!
Well, out of the defensemen...

At the very least, roll a couple of units. Kreider and Zibanejad are not clicking to the point where we need to have them play the last 2:31, to say the least.
 
Throughout my adult life I’ve done some work for Unions during contract negotiations and the skilled work groups would lose their minds over the unskilled groups making a livable wage. The skilled group felt that they were taking less in income and benefits to subsidize the unskilled group.
In the NHL there appears to be an opposite effect.
There is a finite amount to be divided amongst the players. The Stars take the lions share at the expense of the rest of the group. There are players aged 26 and up who need to uproot themselves and their families every year at less than desirable wages.
So I can only imagine when a player demands that much of the pie, which then causes the organization to move out respected veteran leadership it may bring out resentment whether warranted or not.
It's about to get worse. As the cap goes up that new money is going to the upper level players and the mid to low players will continue to get paid around what they are now. This is going to be a pa issue to manage over the next few years.
