I mean, it’s kinda weird to use near identical wording to express a shared opinion.
Anyways, do YOU have the statistics to show that this is
A: True?
B: A bad idea?
I apologize for having similar wording to another poster.
You can find rookie games played stats freely available on Statmuse.
A - the only rookie who had any games with the wings last year was Edvinsson with 16. This was among the lowest in the entire league as far as I’m aware.
The only other teams close (panthers with around 10-11, Winnipeg, avalanche , hurricanes) were all contenders.
Look at the teams around us:
Buffalo - 100+
Tampa - around 50 between a bunch of lower end guys
Blues - about 100
Minnesota - 100+
Washington - 100+
List goes on
We finished just as shit as all these teams. Can you explain to me why it’s better to lose with old vets who have no chance of improving and no future with the club versus losing the same with kids who can actually have a chance of developing into something greater ?
