He's not been on it near as much lately as he was just floating around making them 3 v 5's for the most part (though he was on late trying to take advantage against the opposing teams O unit).
However with his increased effort during games, I wouldn't doubt they try that experiment again. I think it was merely benched as they were also trying to throw being a RW at him.
