A Look at Which Fighters Deserve More Ice Time

Cullen: Which fighters are suited for regular playing time?

It should be noted that not all fights and fighters are created equally. There are heavyweights, who tend to only fight other heavyweights; there are agitators who end up fighting because they’re being called to task for one of (likely) many transgressions; and there are players who, battling for a spot in the lineup or consistent playing time, are willing to use that as one more reason for the team to keep them in the lineup.

If you're a believer in advanced statistics, Scott Cullen uses Corsi formulas to break down a list of fighters who are best-suited for consistent playing time.
