Who decides what players have little-to-no business being in the league?
Calgary has 7 players who either couldn't make their original squad or had never played significant time in the NHL before, along with a team almost completely devoid of talent you would have labeled "first line/first pairing", with a heavy load of 3rd and 4th liners, and they've been very competitive and entertaining.
