I'm in favour of icing the best possible lineup. We've missed 8 years in a row, and unless something changes, we are once again not icing the best possible team in order to "protect other assets".
Kasper was the best player on the team in the preseason, period. Yzerman should have found a way to keep him on the roster. I'm sure he'll be up sooner rather than later, but once again the message from management is that the preseason is irrelevant, and the roster is already set in stone before camp even starts.
