Nah, don't want to hurt his feelings.

he was playing very cautiously this year, especially early on. which is why his offensive production plummeted. i don't think we want cautious. i think we want, "situationally aware".

Pyatt adds some size, and may do well in the playoffs as he'll be able to grapple along the boards without getting called for a penalty...but still I'd rather see them go with 7 D. Bortuzzo and Engo have played well this season and deserve a shot.

I don't know if I'd say it plummeted. He might not be near a point per game as he has been the last few years...but the guy is still has over half a point per game average this season...and he's played in all of 34 games.

He's tied his career high in goals, though.
