Ryan Sproul was one of several Red Wings players who had a tough time getting into and staying in the lineup.

He ended up playing in 27 games, but he could (and in my opinion should) have been in the lineup more consistently before his season-ending injury.

His leash was so short as to be non-existent, as every time he made a noticeable mistake, he came out of the lineup rather than have the chance to play through it.
