And Matt Stajan...we know what Matt Stajan can do, and it's not a whole lot at this point in his career. Are we really lamenting the loss of Stajan to the lineup now? How far we've fallen...

Yes and no.
What are you going to learn from throwing rookies into an understrength roster under a coach who doesnt know how to shelter them, doesnt care and likely wont be here next year?
I understand what you're saying, but theres limits to the effectiveness of what you learn at these points.
Do you think they dont know its meaningless? That their linemates arent giving 100% and effectively selling them out.
If you're Kylington do you think whoever your linemate is that hes going to help you out if you make a mistake as opposed to phoning in the end of the season?
Who are you impressing? The coach? Hes a dead man walking. Who cares? He doesnt.
Frankly, I'd let the guys collecting NHL cheques go down with this ship.
