Sitting a player isn’t imprudent. It’s (injury) risk management. It’s easy to say Tanev won’t suffer a long-term injury until he does. I understand others say the Flames are in the playoff race, and I think that’s a valid reason to play Tanev. But I prioritize asset management, in the sense of ensuring the Flames can actually trade Tanev. Friedman has said the situation is red hot.
