Although he's playing well, Struble will be the odd man out, imo. Personally, I think it should actually be Savard that sits, but I highly doubt MSL will do that to a vet like him.
agree and shows the trend to younger developed players. But also shows we can trade any D man that looses his position next season for valuable picks to keep the cupboards full.
It probably should be Savard but what would the pairings look like. Who can play on the right side (their offside) more effectively than Savvy dies now?
I am sure MSL would mix it up to get the ice time right, but then Guhle should probably be eased back anyway. This is playoff hockey being played right now.
It’s kind of funny that this run will help the team grow in the future, but a vet (Savard) who could use some games off will stay in the lineup at the expense of a youngster. Coach wants to win now, GM wants to grow team. Who wins?

Guhle should be the one playing with Hutson.
Savard is playing poorly, but running 5 LDs isn't great either.
Matheson - Carrier
Guhle - Hutson
Xhekaj - Struble
We'll need Savy rested, should the team do something magical.
Don’t want to break up Hutson/Struble.
Matheson/Carrier is our top pairing. 🤷♂️

MSL loves his veterans so much.
