Kovy is a great player but I wonder how he will fit in with Clouston, who seems to have no problem cutting the ice time of inconsistent players.

Heatley’s ice time was “cut” to be basically the same as Zetterberg’s, Datsyuk and Joe Thornton’s ice time. He was put on the 2nd PP unit because without him they never scored, not because the coach hated Heatley.
