Will Dobson and Hutson play together on the Powerplay or will they be split up? |

good question, we've seen how Hutson was almost instantaneously effective on the 1st wave, and having Dobson and his shot on the 2nd unit wouldn't be too shabby, but the option will certainly be there...

This blog is interesting. My uneducated thoughts:
Shutdown Pairing:
Both Dobson and Hutson are very good offensive defensemen, but lower tier defensively. This deficiency will prevent simultaneous deployment, with Dobson likely on D1 and Hutson on D2 (or vice-versa).
So I questions, which pairing does St Louis deploy against oppponents top lines? Neither seems suitable.
Or might the Gorton/Hughes tandem be working on a trade for a defensive specialist to play alongside Dobson?
Powerplay:
I assume during contract negotiations, Dobson was 'promised' PP1 so its likely Hutson wlll be limited to PP2.
Or could St Louis choose to use both on PP1, unsimultaneously. With Hutson being L-shot and Dobson being R-shot, might St Louis (or powerplay coach) opt for either based on the situation and suitable handedness? |

is this really something that could be included in a contract..? I doubt St-Louis or any coach for that matter would enjoy being contractually handcuffed about who is playing on the powerplay...
