Bärtschi, Pearson, Sutter And Eriksson are not 1st/2nd line players. On a SC team, they are third-liners at best.
Horvat is the classic case of the 2C/3C who is too good for 3C duty only, and may not be good enough to hold permanent 2C position.
Now dont get me wrong here. He is the prototypical team captain and consulate winner. He gives it his all.
If the answer is to get players that can play with him, then that has to be considered soon.
MILLER - PETTERSSON - BOESER
HÖGLANDER - HORVAT - PODKOLZIN
