Way too much loyalty to a guy whose done nothing for this team. Again, he should never play a game for the flames again.

This team has mental block with veteran players. They put them up on a pedastal and are stubborn to change for whatever reason.
If this organization cares at all about actually being a contender this season. You have to play the best players and give ice time to the players who deserve it most. Smith should only get back to back games and Neal should see a reduction in minutes. He did have one of his better games today, but even then still can’t buy a goal. In games where he’s bad, it just hurts the team.
I’d also play the PP1 unit more, that second unit eats up a lot of time for very little production and execution. It’s a very inefficient use of prime powerplay time.
