It just should have had expanded rosters - sticking with an NHL size roster was always foolish.
25 man rosters, 14 forwards, 8 dmen, 3 goalies.
Maybe some veterans wouldn't have wanted to go, but I'm sure guys like Bedard and Celebrini would have had no issues being the 14th forwards on this roster and learning from guys like Crosby, Mackinnon, and McDavid.
And I think they should let Hughes play - he was on the official roster before Sanderson anyways - if he's feeling ready to go now then let him.
