The team to the north made the mistake you are advocating here. Bringing in young players with no accountability or adjustment from junior and expecting them to carry the load. Guys like Knight and Hanowski may be (are) in the long term plans for this team. That doesn't mean they need to be forced into the line up if they aren't ready. I'm sure by the end of the season both of those guys will get their looks at the big club and might even be sticking with the team by years end.
