What kind of organization, not just sports team, but any kind of organization, would risk a years worth of hard work that has almost no margin for error, so a few new employees could get some work expereince?
What an insult to the people who worked so hard to get the project to that point in the first place.
You don't make winners without winning. Why risk the development/confidence gains we have made with Markstrom, Baertshi, Gaunce, Shinkaruk, Corrado, Clendenning, Anderson, Friesen, Grenier, Virtanen and the rest of them, so that McCann or Hutton can get a few games in, or more likely, end up being the goat in a critical game, let down the entire team and organization and take a huge step back?
The margin of error for this team making it to where they have has been very thin at times. Like quadruple overtime 2-1 win kind of thin. Putting a kid under that kind of pressure for no reason, when you are winning and winning the right ways, is just plain silly.
I mean, you would have to forget that the players are actually people, and that's not a way to build an organization.
