Real life NHL isn't like your XBox where there are no personalities or feelings that need to be considered. In real sports (any team management - regardless of the industry) there are real people who have real feelings, friends, and attachments.
If you are not going to be considerate of the people and their families that work for you then you are building something that is far worse than a team stuck in the middle of the standings.

The dressing room is soft in that case.
Florida shook up the room and are in their 3rd consecutive finals. Vegas tosses players away and just won a cup. Edmonton goes out sans brings in ####bags like Perry Kane and Walman and in their 2nd consecutive finals.
Being cut throat is inportsnt and doing what’s right for the team.
Bettman talked about it yesterday when the crybaby Biz brought up state tax. Players care more about winning management coaching.
