I don't really have an answer to this myself, so I'll simply pose a question.
Does Joey Hishon have a place on the 2015-16 NHL roster?
And, for that matter, how much of it is in his control?
If Mikhail Grigorenko shows up as the player we think he can be, or if Mikko Rantanen makes the team out of camp and shows he belongs, then Hishon gets pushed even further down a depth chart he was already marginalized by.
We know from the past two seasons that Coach Roy would rather play guys like MA Cliche or Patrick Bordeleau or Cody McLeod to fill out his forward lines than young scoring prospects like Hishon or Andrew Agozzino.
