Beagle, your point is well taken. Even if he isn't an NHL calibre defenseman, it is now time to start finding out about him one way or the other. He's 24 years old - he's not a kid any more. With 7 defensemen currently on the roster, and even with Fehervary supposedly coming back shortly, he's one of 3 LHD. If there should be any rotation, it should be among the RHD. He's big and strong, the type of guy who should be the first thought to take the role of the now-departed Edmunson, and he has fresh legs. I see no reason whatsoever, other than injury, why he should be sitting out any games between now and the end of the regular season. Carbery needs a reading on what he can expect out of him next season and moving forward.
