I just don't think that a boxer gets better by punching out babies, eventually after feeling good about knocking out 175 babes you go up against Mike Tyson and he beats you into a coma because fighting babies teaches you nothing.
A kid that's NHL ready isn't going to learn much by going down and dominating at that level. We can all talk about how it builds his confidence up. But the bottom line is an NHL coach should be able to manage a players emotional state.
