Bench the players who deserve it... not the rookie that doesn't and is playing better than vet who does.

I never said that vets should have immunity, jus that there are different reasons why a rookie/prospect might be scratched than why a veteran might be. Just like there are many reasons why a top 6 player might be scratched that a bottom 6 might not be scratched for (and vice versa). Not all players are equal and should be treated the same.

I actually don't think any of the players (Glencross and Baertschi included) have been so bad that they need to scratched based on their play. Baertschi has more complicated factors involved though.
