Dude is hesitant to play kids on a rebuilding team. If you're on board with the rebuild, which most of us are, it's illogical to defend capping their ice time to this extent.
It needs to change.
Edit: And don't go on and conflate that with calling him a bad coach and making unfounded critiques on his ability to get results out of this team.
This isn't that. This is about giving adequate ice time and opportunity to rookies and young players so that they can actually work through what they need to and not feel stifled from playing their game by the threat of being benched.

Well said. To add fuel to the fire why is Zac Whitecloud (29) seeing a 6-minute increase over his career average time on ice per game and basically playing the same amount as Rasmus did before he was traded? At least some of those minutes should be used to develop the younger core instead of over-extending a veteran. We’re going to suck either way.
