Although I'm not sure how Tortorella would feel about inserting a young kid with 0 pro experience into a NHL playoff lineup on a likely #1 team. You see how long it took a former All Star defenseman like Marc Staal to acclimate to just a bottom pairing role whilst missing training camp. Now BC hockey is good but the fitness is not at Tortorella level, and Kreider would not be burning a year of ELS to play 6 minutes a game at 4th line LW.
We would have to be
A. Completely clown away with Chris or
B. Completely decimated by injuries or
C. Absolutely desperate for offense
