Russell on your line as often as he did plus dead weight Khaira. Everyone stuck up for Nuge when he played center and blamed his lack of production as a center on his linemates. Well if you can make that excuse for Nuge, why not Sheahan. Sheahan is less of a player but still, you put a non NHLer on his wing as often as P.Russell played, I don't see how that helps with scoring.

I could deal with Sheahan's lack of scoring if his line also didn't cough up so many scoring chances and goals like they did last night. They are a black hole on offence, and they are terrible in their own end to boot. People can talk about how "good" Sheahan is on the PK, but frankly, I see that as more attributable to the coaching than to player talent, especially when we watch him cough up the puck so often in 5-on-5 play. What good is it to be helpful on the PK if you can't defend your own end at even strength? He's got to go after this season regardless of what happens.

I agree but again does that not come down to talent? As I said, he had P. Russell on his wing a lot of nights. He's not an NHL player in my books. I am stunned he played as much as he did. Granlund was on his line. He had Benson on his line who wasn't ready. In consistent Khaira has played a bunch with him. I am not defending Sheahan, he's a 4th line center playing in the 3 hole but if you put crap players on his wing like he had a lot of the year, he's not good enough to overcome that. I think he and Arch are good together but the 2 of them can't overcome having a crap player like Russell on their other wing. He tries hard but doesn't do anything.
I am of the belief that the additions of Ennis and AA are HUGE to this team. Anytime you can take out a guy like Russell completely from your lines and either drop down or scratch a Khaira or a Chiasson, that improves your team a lot in my books.

FWIW, I think Benson with Archibald & Sheahan was the best the third line has looked in the last month. I would be strongly considering bringing him back up if we weren't looking at adding a couple of players back from injury shortly. It would still be on my mind if the team can't get a bit more out of that black hole of a fourth line.
Bakersfield looks unlikely to make the playoffs in the AHL, so it would not surprise me in the least if Benson ends up a roster player in the playoffs this year.
