I'm not saying there isn't.

I just don't know if there is.

But if there was a really clear vision from Brad Trudeau, like, listen, we're going for the bottom five.

We're not going to dress players that aren't NHL players when we have NHL guys available.

But if we have guys that are hurt, they won't play.

If there was a clear vision and a mandate and an understanding, then maybe that word would filter down to Matthew Knight.

He's like, listen, if you're hurt, not if you are, you are.

You've been hurt all year.

We're going to shut you down.

We're talking three weeks now.

I guess three and a half weeks.

It's not like a long time.

Shut them down and get the rehab and the health started.

But maybe the uncertainty of exactly what they're trying to accomplish.

They try to push that pick further up so that it's not a good pick for Boston.

Or they try to chase it all the way down so it's a good pick for them.

I'm not sure they're stuck in the middle.

But if they're going down and it was an organizationally discussed issue.

plan that we need to finish as low as possible then both for matthew nize's health his training and next year plus the draft pick it would make sense sit him out the rest of the year

I suppose, but there are some rules about who you can call up and when and salary cap for mutations.
