What if the reason why TM is making young players "earn it" is because there is added pressure on him to turn out a playoff team this season? TM might be given an ultimatum of having to put out the best roster he can, so playing a rookie might weaken the team. I'd rather see the team succeed with a bunch of veterans mixed with some rookies, than to see the team flounder with mostly young guys. I think that's the reason why Vilardi's been benched is because he just is not getting it done in any zone. I see Kupari and Kaliyev going down the same or similar road.

What do you mean by you rather would see the team succeed?
Maybe we have different opinions of what succeed is.

I see those vets in question not getting anything done by skill or willpower since years.
Kopitar has 1 goal in November, Brown 0, Arvidson 1
Would you be so kind to explain what "weakens the team by playing rookies" means ?

I can explain Kopitar's recent lack of production. It's November, and next month it will be December. Expect a big push to get his points total back up sometime around mid-January after the Kings fate for this season is already sealed.

I have posted this several times, including in the "why so negative" thread about a week ago:

Tearing a team down by selling off it's parts for picks is easy. Leaning on a director of scouting who was already in that position LONG before you got the GM job to use those picks to restock the prospect pool is easy. Player development is hard. Hiring the right head coach is hard. Roster building is hard. Rob Blake is failing and has failed at ALL the heavy lifting required from his job

My opinion remains the same, the entire hockey ops staff should go

Yep, more than a few of us have agreed on that little covenant for a while--that the first parts were easy, but he nailed them--but that what happens next matters. And what has happened next is a catastrophe from head to toe. I have to vote no confidence in Blake to lead out of it and I'm not sure TM could coach a cat to drink milk without it backchecking at this point.

Blake won't fire TMac and Luc won't fire Blake, so were pretty much stuck. Maybe ownership doesn't care as long as seats are filled.

i believe i read somewhere that this is the final year of blake's contract. i don't know if brass has the balls to pull the plug on the whole lot of them but yeah, if the seats ain't being filled they might not have a choice
 
At the end of the day pro sports are a performance based business, and the data shows Blake’s tenure these last few seasons particularly, that he can not do the job. So I think they need to terminate him NOW before he loses any more assets for free.

I don't think they have the balls and I also am worried he tries to Dave Taylor his way out of it by doing something stupid like Vilardi + 1st for a vet

If ownership had the balls to cut ties with the management team that brought them two cups, I’d have to think the dumping of BLuc would be chump change for them.
