Don’t understand the hate for Mittlestat. He played with 4th liners and was a top 10 pick . Potrias has done nothing to impress me and I say is a bust .
This is how it will play out:
Younger guys will outperform the vets in training camp
Management will still be unwilling to give the younger players the spots they earned because the vets are the ones making the money.
So the vets will undeservingly get the spots no matter how much the young players outperform them.
