shame on you if you really think icing anything worse than the best team your roster offers is better for the team than actually trying to win hockey games
the flames of 13-14 are going to be bad already, we don't need to make them any worse

That's not what's happening here. We're not intentionally gimping the lineup so we lose. We're making decisions (or so the theory goes) that will make us better in the future with the possible side effect of making us slightly worse today.
We're not sitting Dennis Wideman to lose enough games so we can draft Ekblad.
Presumably you're 100% against trading vets for futures this year?
