Mike Babcock on keeping Zach Hyman with Auston Matthews, Connor Brown’s playing time, and Carl Grundstrom’s standout showing in camp

Given how well the power play did last year, how do you figure out where Marleau fits?

Babcock: I’m going to give him the spot where Brown had. I know he’s going to be on it. He can play in any of the spots. As much as we were structured more where each guy had a spot last year, once you get good, anyone can just go anywhere except the net front guy. That’s not as big of an issue. Obviously, he’s a guy who we’ve got to find a spot and a fit for and make him important because he is important.
