because i think people hope that if Eller/Gal/Gal play together, they would become the second line.

But, Plekanec is the guy that gets the most minutes, in all situations.

It makes very little sense to pair him with a guy like Sekac.

i think it's less about minutes than it is about matchups. if Plekanec takes the top D assignment, and DD/Pacioretty draw the other team's top D unit, that allows Eller's line a fair fight to put up points... probably going against another team's second line. so it only makes sense to give him the better wingers. offensive output is not always related to minutes played. it can be easier to put up offense with 15 sheltered minutes than 21 hard minutes.

I know, but he is waiver exempt, you'd think starting him the AHL where he would presumably be top dog would make sense, especially since he has never played in NA before.

Played OHL and USHL.

Did really well too.

Also you are vastly overstating the term "played" in relation to being cut after 8 games.

They sold lots of beer and everything else at the US Open. There is one bathroom. It's unisex.
