It's not about playing the most exciting hockey (unfortunately) it's about doing what is going to make Monahan, Gaudreau and Sven (plus others) the best players they can be a few years from now.
And if that's sheltered NHL minutes, being thrown to the wolves, or playing in the AHL that's what the team should do.
