Not at all, I agree wholeheartedly that the philosophy behind it is what I want...but for ALL the kids, not just the one who looks like he's doing something. It's bunk to do this for Laf while burying Arty/Alex/Akil/Gabe/Rasmus and more.

And I don't have a problem with the org trying it either, but they haven't given me any reason to believe they would shift gears if it didn't work. The smug stubbornness has been a feature for years. I'd love to be wrong on either point but history says otherwise.

Arty, 188 NHL games, hasn't shown he can do the little things, but he's "buried"
Turcotte - Injuries
Akil - Injuries
Gabe - Played majority 2nd/3rd line, but was "buried"
Rasmus - in danger of not even being in the league....

Man, some of the irrational hatred for the organization is just...irrational.

No one can think these days, it's f***ing embarrassing.

They already ruined those other guys. Laf is up there for lack of better options. I don’t hate it, even if the results aren’t there, better to give those spots to someone who might still be in the league by the next time the Kings are contenders instead of the usual suspects. It’s ultimately moot anyway, we all know Byfield will be back in that spot and good old Lewis will be a 3C mainstay when all is said and done.
