Thought it'd be a good character choice especially if they believed it best they stick to the farm for a bit for getting acclimated to the pros, build strength first rather than rush to the big squad?

Interesting thought but not rational.
That's like saying you have been given the opportunity to become President of a company and you elect to be only a regular employee. These players have dreamed about playing in the NHL for all of their lives, they won't give up the opportunity because who knows, they may never get another crack at it.
The money is good too and if a player doesn't have confidence in his abilities, it really doesn't look good.
