Hockey is the ultimate team game, you need to have quality teammates to perform at your best. Its not like a Basketball when a single player can come in and take over a game, with 4 bench players with him.
How many times did people say that Gaudreau needed better line mates, you staple Brett Ritchie to his wing and he is going to look like trash.
That's why I don't get this if you can't show play with minor leaguers you aren't good enough.
This isn't a given before earned, you can't earn the spot if you are not given a fair chance. The only ones who get a fair chance are the useless muckers we have zero need for since we already have a bunch in Lucic, Lewis, and Ritchie.
