Coaches tend to want to win now, we all get that. However, no one said there had to be suppression in order to get there.
Coach’s premise in his approach to winning has him giving a lot of rope to vets who are not performing. You want culture and accountability, then institute a meritocracy.
The reflex of overplaying mediocre vets in the belief that is the only or best way to win on a rebuilding team is questionable. If the vets are not delivering, then progressively shift more of the vets’ ice time to younger players who may be deserving, was the idea.
MSL makes some strange decisions at times, overall in my view he has done a good job, but the regression of some of the kids, along with his doubling down on vets to me, is just plain dumb.
That said, he has his marching orders to see this through and HuGo could very well be controlling the shots here, and are looking for assets to come back in a trade.
Similar to last year though, it is easy to see our vets are not worth a whole lot eh....
Move on Marty, let the kids play..............this, is where the golden nugget is.
