"We asked John Tortorella about the rebuild. He said, 'We want to win every game.'"

There you have it. I'm not saying don't compete but part of a rebuild is playing young players to establish if they are part of the future. If Tortorella is making his lineups with the explicit intent of winning every game, he is ignoring an essential component of a rebuild. We know he will lean on his veterans as much as possible for the tight parts of the game.

Tortorella isn't a dinosaur; he is a RINO: rebuilder in name only.

He ground the Sedins to a pulp with their usage in Vancouver, overplaying vets to the point of systemic exhaustion is nothing new for Torts.
