I understand the point you're trying to make Kruddler.
In some respects we may be the victim of more of our defenders exceeding expectations than anticipated.
We drafted/ traded in a lot with the expectation that not all picks would be successful, and we've probably done better than expected.
So what will happen?
If Kruddler is right there will be games Weitering will miss because of no effective match-up.
My expectation is Weitering will play every game unless he's injured.
And it will be because he is the best option in the coaches eyes.
A coaching group worth its salt wouldn't play a player just because he was the number one draft pick...would they?
You would expect (hope)not.
