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.

There is more to training camp than just the 14 minutes of ice-time players get in 2 or 3 pre-season games. You are overstating your position significantly here, it's not like they are getting no opportunities at all, and the 'scrubs' are playing solely with Huberdeau.
