I understand fans want to see the kids but a lot of the guys you mentioned are developing well in the AHL. Do we really want to put them in a position to fail in the NHL? Do we want to show them how to lose and lose or let them win and win in the AHL and gain confidence and grow together?

Our AHL team is on a 9 game winning streak. I think letting most of the kids stay down there in a winning environment where they seem to be developing well is a much better idea then throwing them to the wolves here when some of them aren't ready and letting them lose and lose.
