With Kapanen down and keeping 3 goalies.. now is the chance to try the "Darnel Experiment".. run him as a winger instead of the team going 11F x 7D .. unlock some of that 9.25 value! Power Forward !

Kapanen creates a little test case to show how bad our depth actually is. He's not that great of a player, but in contrast to a lot of the slugs we've been carrying all year in the bottom 6, how he is able to look so effective shows us how weak our depth really is. Henrique out has also ended up addition by subtraction in the bottom 6. Having a line depending on someone that can barely get to a puck 5v5 to be the center/playmaker is just instant death for a line if you expect any offense from it.
