Most of the skilled guys look disinterested maybe because they realize the game is evolving and we have players who outplayed the veterans and yet we iced a worse team . Im tired of people saying Kempe isnt ready. Gravel or Ladue cant play in the NHL ; we will see rookie mistakes. What about all the other teams who play their rookies , let them develop and learn in the NHL so they can play a major role down the line when we are ready to contend again . And Sutter still plays grinders with skilled players and expects them to perform. Shore is defensive specialist let him play on the 4th line. Dowd has more skill let him play 3rd line . Does management not see these things or are we just delusional ?
