I do not mind Cates... or any other young player... bitching about Trots was getting ridiculous ... Last time they blocked shots like that was during Hitch time imo... and PK during that time was not that good.
What I hated was Torts doing things that in no way you can say is good for the young players developing.

This would include benching Frost multiple games, benching Brink, playing Staal over Z. I can't defend any of those moves at all. There is a difference between tough love and you get benched a period/sent to 4th line and being a complete a hole. It really is not illegal to play 2 smaller forwards in the same lineup. It took an injury to Cates to have this happen.

And when Cates is healthy I would have him at 4lw to start 44 to the rafters and that is a pretty doggone deep team. Not buying the beach chair for the parade yet but its a whole lot better than I expected.

And despite the things I dislike about Torts, I also have to admit. There is no way under Hak or AV if they were down Sanheim they could have coached a shutout.
