Having Xhekaj out there isn't only for fighting's sake. He brings confidence to the players (especially the small ones) as a patroller.
No lack of confidence from this group the games he's been out...

I don't disagree that having a guy like X helps in that regard (MBs single best move was signing Prust for that very reason)... But this time of year it's very hard to play a dman with the gaps in his game that X has, especially with Savard in the lineup.

Playing X over Savard likely doesn't help us as at least Savard contributes on PK.
 
Come to think of it....you don't sign Evans. And you transform Newhook into a faster Evans.
 
Sometimes I wonder if I'm watching a different game. That pass was way off for Newhook to shoot it. He had to reach. A shot would have had no power or accuracy. Passing was the only real option.
