And I do not agree with some people on here that vets should get preferential treatment.

Why should Kadri and Huberdeau be allowed to float and turn it over, but Gridin gets benched if he doesn't get the puck deep one time?
And I'm sorry, I do not think Huska is the guy to develop young players. Unless you are counting our goalies, who I don't think Huska can get credit for, what players has he successfully developed? Coronato struggled alot this year early on, as did Zary. Zayne lost all his confident under Huska. Kuznetsov has been great, but he was really good since game 1. I am not sure we should credit Huska for that considering he was fine with us putting the same player on waivers a few weeks prior.

Life isn’t fair.
In this instance I’m only concerned about Gridin and how to use this season to make him better.
Getting angry because someone else isn’t being benched isn’t all that relevant to the task at hand.
