"I bought into the idea of a rebuild if it meant prioritizing young players over veterans to help them progress and experience different situations at the NHL level.
But over the last three years, the opposite has happened. We talked about development, so why did Martin St. Louis play
Josh Anderson on the power play instead of Slafkovsky last year?
Why is Matheson, who is not in the Canadiens' long-term plans, still playing with the team and playing on the left side, denying Guhle the opportunity to develop on his strong side for three years now? Why is Matheson getting power play time over Hutson?
Why are veterans always given priority over young players during this rebuild?
I thought they were trying to develop the young guys? Why is Matheson playing on the penalty kill instead of giving a young player the chance to learn that type of situation?
Why are Armia and Gallagher on the power play when there are young players in the lineup who have offensive talent and don't get any power play time, like Heineman?
Why does Martin St.Louis have the worst defensive system in the NHL, when it's all covered by Montembeault who has been playing over his head for the past two years?!?
Why, with less than 2 minutes left in a game, are the veterans protecting the lead instead of the young players?
In three years, I haven't seen any young defensemen develop. Guhle has never experienced playing on his strong side in the NHL during those crucial development years, and I have a big problem with that."
