Your two best puck movers and skaters are out and you sit Despres, the next best one? The Pens basically have one dman, Niskanen, who can make an effective first pass out of the zone. You saw what a hard time the Pens had the other night against the Rangers with this D group getting out of their zone.
I don't get it.

Carolina might hit him hard, and Bylsma doesn't think he can take a hit without curling up into a ball.

Agreed, Bortuzzo couldn't buy a spot in the starting lineup for how long? Now when we need a puck mover more than ever, we scratch Despres and Bortuzzo gets in?

I have been a Despres supporter, but he hasn't played well over the last few games he's played. It seems the only player he plays well with is Letang-whatever the reason. I don't see a huge problem with him sitting when we need our defense to be reliable with Martin and Letang out.
