Personally I believe most have good intentions but it could be a lesson in group think. Or it could be an authoritarian type group where the top honcho calls the shots and everyone has to fall in line. Tortorella through his career has shown himself to be the anti-company man and just plays to his own drummer so he’d probably have taken it upon himself to do what was right. We’ll never know. But we’ll never know who exactly knew what at what time and only each individual knows what they truly knew. Poor decisions were made by a few, that’s a certainty.
