That's an interesting comparison. When the Bruins elected to keep Bergeron his stat line after nine games was:

2g 5a 7p +5 0pim 1PPG 14shots 14.2%shooting averaging 13:27/game ice time.

The Bruins record at the time was 5-2-2-0

Bergeron finished the season with 16g 23a 39p +5 22pim 12.0% shooting
The Bruins finished 41-19-15-7, won their division and then lost in 7 to Montreal.

I'd say that staying in the NHL did nothing to hurt Bergeron's development as he followed his rookie year with two 70-point seasons and had 7 points in 10 games when he got concussed.

We can only hope staying in the NHL has a similar (though greater, let's be greedy) effect on Monahan.

Side note: Jones only got a two game suspension for obliterating Bergeron's skull on that hit.
