I'm sure AV was sold on the logic of bringing Yandle in to help the PP. But that doesn't necessarily mean Yandle's in the clear. We also gotta assume that AV must have signed off on Gus last summer. And AV must have been OK w/ elevating Myers instead of replacing Niskanen. Doesn't mean they were immune from being scratched down the line.

And yeah, Morin or Clendening or Zamula. I think they let York settle in a bit as a pro before yanking him around.

Gustafsson was never established as an NHL veteran like Yandle is. Same for Myers. Who was a young player. Completely different. If Yandle clicks on the PP, I have a hard time seeing the team remove him for York.

This ignores history. How do you think a coach gets a rep, deserved or not for favoring vets over young players? You're talking two different things here. There's a difference between bringing in vets as role players to buy some time versus vets brought in because you've shifted to a win now mode. With the moves made, the team has already decided where players like York and Frost are likely to start the season.

Yep, They will most likely start in the AHL, where they should start. Get in some pro games and work their way onto the team during the year. Just like 95% of other players. Looks like we are building to win now and in the future
