Gruden Back in December (from the 12-16th) averaged around 2mins per game on the PK. Then his last call up on the 15th this month, he got zero PK time. He averaged under 5mins a game even strength, while Harkins averages 8mins (was less than 6mins for like 4-5 games before he got hurt, then came back and played 7+). Could have also been the Pens only took 2 penalties that game.
It's not even like that PK is doing an insane job, they are so up and down by month. October, December, and January they are pretty bad to awful. November & February they're great.
Phillips hopefully gets claimed too, f*** that dwarf, I'd rather not see him as any option. I swear, Dubas is taking the blame for this shit but he never did this sort of thing in Toronto, just random waiver claims for bottom 6 fodder as much as he has here. Through 3 GM's, there's been a pattern that predates Dubas. Dubas actually had bad luck with waivers in Toronto, as in he kept losing players via waiver claims, then he comes here...
Maybe I missed it, but WBS couldn't recall Frasca? He had a 3 game stint before being sent down (has been producing in Wheeling).
