Why should it not be that way? Like in virtually every other industry, past experience and past accomplishments mean something. Why should the NHL be any different?
There is so much that we don't see and are not privy to as onlooking fans in a NHL training camp. I'm not suggesting that experience counts for everything, but it really is foolish to expect that it would amount to nothing like some posters seem to imply.

Of course there is every reason to be disappointed. My gripe is with making the mistake of a direct comparison between a disappointing veteran in the early stages of training camp and a raw rookie. Its just not that relevant.
