Good teams don't hand top spots to rookies. Or hope that one of their young guys can be good in that role.

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.

Thank you!!!
We can't expect all the rookies to come in and replace the offence that Cammy brings. They need seasoning and find out what it takes to be a pro. We have to remember that all these guys are all young and won't make an impact in the NHL immediately.
Gaudreau and Poirier will most likely spend most of their next season in the AHL. Frankly it's the best place for them, it seems to be working for Baertschi. I think expectations for Gaudreau are too high and he obviously needs to work on things in his game (like playing against men). Gaudreau obviously has the tools to be a great player but what would be the downfall of a year in the AHL?
