There's no point in playing him for the rest of the year, even if he's close.

You can’t fix a terrible attitude.There's no point in playing him for the rest of the year, even if he's close.
I can't dispute that, but I still don't think they should bother to play him. I'd rather give the playing time to the youth for now.You can’t fix a terrible attitude.
Not with that attitudeYou can’t fix a terrible attitude.
Don't be mean... Probably closer to 20 games per season.Only 5 more years of spending 15% of the cap on a guy who is maybe worth that amount for 15 games per season.
Karlsson - Yes, it's wrong to doubt it. He played through literally not having a groin for this club.Is it wrong to doubt Karlsson whenever he talks about his injury status. Also how the hell is Hill's injury serious enough to keep him out for like 4 months and not require surgery.
So it's not that I doubt that he's injured, I doubt if he's as healthy as he says he is.Karlsson - Yes, it's wrong to doubt it. He played through literally not having a groin for this club.
Hill - Not all injuries require surgery though, and some rehab recovery can take a lot of time. Given the nature of the goaltending position, any injury needs to be 100% before returning. I think Hill came back for a game, and aggravated it again.
Because I personally doubt it’s an actual hockey injury and related to something else regarding post-Covid ala Toews. Similar to my views on DW.Is it wrong to doubt Karlsson whenever he talks about his injury status. Also how the hell is Hill's injury serious enough to keep him out for like 4 months and not require surgery.
Karlsson turned down the invitation due to injury.Personally I would rather have EK rest and not play through a minor injury that to play in meaningless games. He is a vet and knows his body and is focused on being better next season.
I was actually taking about the end of the regular season. I get why Couture got upset with him on the bench because if you are going to play then play hard, but I have no issue with him saying ok I'm going to sit out the rest of the season and rest my body so I can be healthy next season. Honestly I don't think Couture has any issue with it either. I know it isn't popular but I think EK should be captain of this team. This team will only be as successful as he will take them and giving him the responsibility and actually building around your highest paid player is what they should have done when they extended him in the first place. No way Burns should have significantly more minutes than him.Karlsson turned down the invitation due to injury.
