You know that's not the case with veterans. It's not about preseason or even season games for me (
obviously he's been part of one of the best lines in hockey for 2 seasons in a row now!), but he has also performed in playoffs, and was not the reason Wild lost to VGK:

It is obviously annoying to young players, who feel like they are doing better job than the older guys,
but the thing is the older guys are already proven they can perform in high stress environment where the rookies tend to make mistakes. Greenway is also a role player that does a lot of work that goes unnoticed and unrewarded (like wrestling in the corners & taking more dzone starts than offensive wingers). What if he would push 100% in exhibition game and get injured? How bad would that make him look?
