A rookie tournament in Red Deer is about as far removed from "critical situations" for these players as one can get. I imagine this is about coaches wanting to see more from other prospects in different situations. Foo and Mangiapane are likely to be late camp cuts, if they don't push for roster spots, so this is the definition of a meaningless game for their part.
