Looks like you made up your mind.You're not adding to it, just diverting it with tangential nonsense.
Let's stick to the actual discussion at hand: Kapanen, and how we shouldn't be replacing Nylander as Matthews' winger based on a 5 game sample from Kappy.
What what this discussion is oblivious to, is that no one has the luxury of time.
Babcock has 5 games to make an evaluation. That is all he has at the moment. He cannot say he wants more, because he has to fill in the lineup card the next game.
The question is has Kapanen shown enough to be Matthews permanent winger going forward?
If not, then define what you consider is enough evidence.
At this point, it is obvious how absurd you guys are being.
How many games is enough? What criteria you want? In the meantime how will Babcock fill up the line card, maybe use the player who is not even here?
Do the Leafs or any organization have the luxury of rotating every player to play with their star player? You think that is a good idea? No.
Small sample sizes are a fact of life.
The coaching staff sees how they are playing, and they make a decision, whether it is 2 games like for Ennis, 5 games, or 2 seasons.
You guys cannot accept the reality of it. If the data is not nice and neat, you guys flip out, or worst become indecisive.
