Yup, I somewhat agree with that. But here's the thing, until you have your core players in the league long enough to become the veterans for those rookies, you are going to be really bad. Like inexcusably bad. We're almost at that stage with Monahan now in his 4th season, and others close to taking over the team, but for now I think having a veteran presence is good, so long as they're not playing below replacement level.
