Because, as things stand, he's being utilized as the team's 9th defenseman. If they don't retain Dekeyser, he moves to 8th. But I fully expect the team to be active in the waiver market.Can anyone tell me why Burroughs isn't getting more consideration? I thought he added a much needed physical dimension (along with Schenn). I didn't see him make notable defensive mistakes.
So, offense from Hughes, OEL, and Rathbone (hopefully) and defense from Schenn, Burroughs and Dermot.
And a lot of size from Myers along with some reasonable puck skill and offense.
That is 7 defense that can be tailored to specific game situations. I would suggest that we could dress 7 defense and let Petey or Hogs or Podz or some other young player skate with the 4th line.
Clearly, Boudreau is an elite coach and capable of making eclectic and brilliant line adjustments.
Just saying....
Dermott being out probably works in his favor as well
