I believe Rod is fine with a rookie or even two, but he's going to want the best team he can get with the best chance to win....

Year 1: Svechnikov, Wallmark, Foegele
Year 2: Necas
Year 3: Bean, Nedeljkovic, Lorentz, Geekie are all playing regularly.

I know some might say “but he didn’t have a choice” and that’s possible in some cases, but injuries and cap problems are many times why other coaches/teams turn to rookies as well.

The narrative won't die no matter how many times you bring this up.

@Boom Boom Apathy I totally agree with the whole point. He easily prefers a rookie or two, but does what he has to do. That said, wasn't there something said about Necas the year he went back to Czech?
