This is the time to play prospects and really see what we have.

This type of thinking drives me nuts. And this isn't just directed at you Csinmyblood.
Good teams don't hand top spots to rookies. Or hope that one of their young guys can be good in that role. Good team have established forwards in those roles and hope that a young player can push them out of a spot. Depth is created that way as well. If you had a guy in a top 6 role who is transplanted by a better younger player, it means you have a guy who can step up and play top 6 if someone gets hurt.
