Either way though, I like Frost and it was a dad's trip game. So not the worst one to win.

I mean compete game to game, and the chips fall where they may. Sutter ensured there were no passengers and that commitment has been instilled in this roster, so removing a few vets isn’t going to plunge this group into an abyss. They might end up bottom 5, but that will be more a product of the competition, not incompetence or indifference on the part of this team.
The worst case scenario would be finishing 17-21 and still having Andersson, Coleman and Kadri on the roster post trade deadline. The fans will grumble, the players in question will have seen another season pass without a post season appearance and the rest of the league will sense a growing desperation in the management ranks. I can’t imagine anyone in the organization wants to be a part of that scenario.
