In a vacuum, yes.
But it'll be max 2 players per game getting rotated. You can only do so much with the cap and roster.
I wouldn't be pushing Fox right now, but that's just me.

There is an opportunity to do that later in the season. Certainly if someone is hurt they shouldn’t play. But, if they win the division with a 4 or 6 point cushion, they can sit anyone at the end of the year.
They don’t play the last three days of the league year. You could sit someone for over a week before the playoffs start and they would only miss the last two games

Hard to think about doing that when one point can be the difference between a first-round matchup against Detroit or against Tampa

I don't mind if A.) you've got things sewn up and/or B.) A player is dealing with something nagging.
But where would it end?

Reminder 5th game In 7 days today. NHL should be ashamed of itself. This is pro hockey.
So anyone jumping off a bridge if we lose today even big. Chill

Disagree, too early for that. If you wanna give someone the last couple games before playoffs to heal up that's fine but a rest now is gonna do very little later.

Unless someone is definitely playing through an injury.
I'd let Trouba come back to paly after the playoffs for another team.

This thread was not what I thought it would be about.

I'm not some old school guy and I realize it's not on the NBA level but I want load management to stay in the NBA.

i would do load management the entire season if it were up to me. definitely not as drastically as the nba, but guys should get nights off here and there throughout the season, especially defensemen. rest is incredibly important for athletic performance.

Isn't Fox engaged/soon to be married? I guess he should keep it to every other day to keep his legs strong. Shouldn't be a problem with all the travel they've been doing though so unless his fiance is traveling with the team, I think no management needed.
....unless he's like Hideki Matsui.

Lord knows most of us could practice better load management.
Agreed. Especially re: Fox. He routinely plays a ton so I'd like him to get a few games to rest if we can.
Sit him against the Debbies for sure.

If our top players actually deserved load management, sure. The only guy who deserves it is Panarin. Zibanejad, Kreider and Fox have load managed themselves for the whole season, at least it has looked like it.

honestly just refuse to play for like 2 weeks. Forfeit the games, we'll still make the playoffs.

Some guys are so noticeably better after resting (Fox most of all imo) that we should definitely do this.
I would also give Mika and Kreider time off as well.
