We're playing Giroux for the faceoffs.
Last season leaders with more than 1,000 faceoffs taken:
1. Tavares
2. Trotchek
3. Crosby
4. Staal
5. Giroux
Stutzle is in a place where he has to learn by watching, talking with and practicing with Giroux.
It's just a reality. Do you take a guy who is essentially top 5 in the league or do you let Stutzle learn? When you're DJ on the hotseat or when you're Green trying to win games... you put Giroux in the circle. If you're Jacques Martin trying to salvage the season and reinforce good habits, you put Giroux in the circle too.
All you need to do is make sure Stutzle is learning from Giroux for when Giroux eventually retires a few years from now.
