Rebuilding teams still need the bulk of their roster to be veterans. Fan scenarios of running with a roster half made up of 1st and 2nd year players are fantasy.
Nashville sold off a bunch of assets and replaced them with veterans who they feel will foster a better culture for prospects and young players to grow in. Having a two-way Cup-winning O’Reilly playing tough minutes is far better than throwing Cody Glass to the wolves. Trotz knows he has a non-playoff team.
