Why on earth would you conclude from my post that rookie fatigue isn't a thing? I said that after only playing 8 games this month playing 3rd line minutes and being 21 years of age, he is not going to be fatigued. He's not coming straight from college, he's played junior hockey and a season in the AHL. Its obviously punitive.
He's not really going to learn that there are consequences. He's watching guys like Boro and Hainsey make horrendous gaffes in back to backs with nothing being done. He's just learning that there is no logic or fairness in the coaching decisions, just pure favouritism.
This isn't a competitive team, there's no reason for rookies not to get more rope to make mistakes. Just tell em what they did wrong then throw em out for their next shift. This is garbage, which is par for this organization.
You mentioned there “is not fatigue factor here”. My point was the Sens don’t want to allow the players to be fatigued. You can’t do that by waiting for them to hit the wall and than trying to manage/rest them. To avoid getting fatigued you increase the amount of rest so fatigue never sets in. A minor injury or learning opportunity (bad game) are logically excellent opportunities to build that rest in.
