A Quote by Brendan Daly
Veterans get priority in the training room and better parking, but there is not a whole lot of difference in terms of how they're treated in the competition for playing time. To me it doesn't matter if a guy is a 10-year veteran or a rookie. If the rookie is better, he finds his way onto the field.

If the veteran only has a year or two left on his contract, teams are hesitant to trade a draft pick for a player in that position.

The system is not conducive to making a deal for a veteran.
