Not at all.
It’s the only explination for him to be in the lineup at this point, and it makes sense

It might have something to do with him being in the lineup. GMs don't like guys that they signed to extensions for decent money being a healthy scratch.
Since he has been back from injury he doesn't seem to be on the same page as everyone else. Sometimes it looks like he is doing his own thing out there.

If what you say is true I have lost all respect of Trotz as a coach. His job is to put the best players out there who he thinks gives us the best chance to win. Nothing else should matter. I have no reason to believe that is not what he is doing. Furthermore, if the reports are true that he does not get along with BMac then he could care less whether sitting Burakovsky would reflect badly on BMac.

I doubt he has a choice in it, but I doubt he cares how anything makes GMBetaMale look.
I would imagine something like this coming from Dick and Ted as GMBeta as its their money and/or cap space they don't want benched.

If you really believe that Trotz is playing Burakovsky because this is what Ted and Dick want I don’t know what to say. There is no point in discussing it further. I believe Trotz desperately wants to win a Stanley Cup and he is playing the players he believes gives him the best chance to reach that goal.
