I agree. The fourth line is bad. That's on JR. There are replacement choices in WBS. Obviously they don't think they're better. That's on Sully. (And perhaps Shero if the farm system isn't good enough). As you can see, very few trades have been made across the NHL. JR is not going to be able to trade for three new fourth line players. But who's waived, called up and who's playing out of those options ultimately rests with Sully because they're not going to be called up (or waived) if the coach isn't or is going to play them....
I’m sure he could start the process. He’s had 7 months. It’s 4th line players.
As I mentioned Sully doesn’t play Reaves or Rowney that often so it’s not like he’s pushing hard for these guys and Sprong got more minutes than Simon, Kuhnhackl, Reaves, Rowney, ZAR and Dea.
Of course JR needs to discuss things with Sully but JR runs the roster. If Sprong is in Sully will play him more than the other guys I’ve mentioned.
