This is a bad perspective in my eyes. Young NHL players shouldn’t be disciplined by being benched when they make a mistake while veterans who make mistakes keep getting played - and that’s what happened in Calgary under Gulutzan/Peters/Ward, and the team has suffered for it.
Mistakes by young players are a lot easier to digest than veterans making the mistakes.
