I'm hoping AV pulls his head out of his arse and give Ballard proper ice time next season, pair him with Tanev, give him 1st/2nd unit PK and 2nd unit PP duties.
1st unit PK: Hamhuis-Ballard or 2nd unit PK: Ballard-Edler/Ehrhoff
2nd unit PP: Ballard-Bieksa/Tanev/Edler (if Samuelsson and Ehrhoff are on the point)

this better not be the case. we need someone who can compete at the NHL level to compliment kesler at his BEST; which is obviously right now. otherwise it's going to continue being a helicopter 2nd line.
