I'm not buying what Peters is selling here. It's August, I would think pretty much every GM will want to see what their top prospects look like in the tourney, as it isn't causing them to miss anything else (unless they have nagging injuries of course). And then those kids hit training camp in high gear.
Yeah, would be great if it opens the door for Kerins. And Kusnetsov. And Sergeev.
