Richards
Stepan
Boyle
Halpern
Argument is over regardless of what you may think, this is how Torts views it

He did not play third line center all year; see many games? Boyle cannot produce offense; period. And therefore he cannot play on the third line if we intend to have a balanced attack. I think Torts is smart enough to see that even if others cannot.
