Benching Markstrom, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Giordano and getting the rest of the kids in and playing.
What's the point of playing the vets? This sends them a message that their job is to win then the organization needs to do what is best for themselves and try to secure the highest pick possible.
Hockey management just in general is an old boys club that is seriously lacking in just the most basic business fundamentals.
I have a lot of respect for the Leafs in this case. They engineered their tank for Matthews. Job well done. They deserve to reap the rewards.

Welp, all I can say is, thankfully you aren't the owner. Cuz then we'd be Buffalo, where constant ownership meddling makes a situation even worse.
