That's fine, but then don't tell us a prospect can make the team by outplaying a veteran. As a prospect, I'd see myself performing better than Jones and wonder why I'm not on the team out of training camp. I'm not sure I'd be thrilled to hear, "Yeah, you played better than Jones, Setoguchi, Colbourne and others, but you really need to be better than Glencross and Hudler to make the team."
