Exactly this is the part that gets me whenever people talk about “how much better the NHL is than the AHL or CHL” or whenever they talk about prioritizing vets over younger hungrier players.
a) vets make mistakes too. Lots of them. All the time.
b) young players are motivated to get the big paycheques. Vets already have them. Human nature to be that step lazier and a little less motivated each and every game.
Vets get free passes on mistakes. Totally overlooked by everyone all the time just because of a name.
