"[I] put a lot of thought about that. And I thought about that a lot last year. How do I say this? He is the greatest weapon on the power play in history. He's older, right? Okay. But even last year and even when he gets out on the second unit, he's still a weapon. And he scored multiple goals - I think we went back through it and I did the research. I think he scored four second-unit goals last year in the second half."
"So when you think about that utilization and putting him in the best positions possible to succeed, is it a five-on-five shift? Is it a second portion of a power play? To me, there's a lot of value on him, even if he's at, let's call it 80 percent on that second [unit], because it's starting to get longer. We're asking him to do and work and compete and win pucks and run his routes on the breakout for a minute straight."
