If you're talking +/- I think that's a little unfair to Bryson. He's not a top-4 guy but he's been playing top-4 minutes. He's okay in a bottom pairing role but I would like to see an upgrade even there.
They call it a morning skate but it's a practice session. Doing a morning skate in the middle of a back-to-back likely saps too much energy though so teams usually skip it or make it optional.
