I do agree that this is a small gripe, it just adds to the bigger picture of questionable decisions.

Agreed, Jankowski s definitely the better player.
Double shifting Gaudreau could have very well backfired. Rightly or wrongly, Kylington has yet to earn the trust of this organization. Throwing him into a playoff situation was likely never on the table. It’s more likely the would have added Valamaki if they were that desperate.
