Really good in depth piece by max. Explores both sides of the argument imo. Seems like the players in the room are almost happier that the team is more vets then young guys which makes sense in a way but also means they’ll have to prove it on the ice.
Lots of good quotes and max basically argues both sides.

>Head coach Derek Lalonde, meanwhile, noted the ways veteran experience can help players avoid the day-to-day emotional highs and lows that can plague younger players.
>“A little thing (like) just being posted on the lineup as a fourth-line wing — sometimes a young guy, that breaks them for the day,” Lalonde said. “Or just going through a game, only getting six minutes just because of the way the game played out, and not letting that bother you.”
>Those things are real, as is the difference in knowing what works and doesn’t work in the NHL, and the physical maturation needed to accomplish it.
This highlights an aspect we as fans rarely remember to think about, and can’t possibly know everything about. It’s stuff that goes on in the locker room and communication among the organization.
