You're confusing "talent" with production.
People act like the Flyers are the only team to demote a talented young player, or play a veteran over them, never happens elsewhere in the NHL. Nope.
I mean what team would play a washed up vet like Boumeester 20:44 a night while limiting a promising young D-man like Dunn to 17:32, or play a veteran has been like Steen over a rising star like Thomas.
And we know a brilliant coach like Trotz would never give big minutes to talent challenged veterans like Boychuk (18:50), Filppula (14:16) or Komarov (13:53) while burying a top draft pick like Ho Sang (28th pick in 2014). Or play a stiff like Mike Martin over 5th rd pick Dal Colle.
