You might not make the playoffs without broken Kadri playing (oh wait, we still didn't), but if you do, you're better off going into the playoffs with healthy Kadri than broken Kadri. It also gives a young kid a chance to contribute so you can see what they're made of - or for somebody to step up. Hopefully this changes under Conroy and Huska.

As a trainer or doctor you can only do so much. A player can pass all the tests and be medically cleared but still be banged up, and it's up to them to say I can't play. Hockey culture needs to change. The suck it up, be a warrior, go out and play needs to be phased out of the game.
