I am not at all concerned with signing a defensive prospect and bumping a draft pick to the ECHL. Some of the younger guys may not be ready for the AHL. And in all likelihood, if a 23 year old defenseman who has spent 4 years in college isn't ready to perform in the AHL his NHL potential is likely very limited. Say we sign Young, if Ramage can't beat him out for a spot in the AHL he's likely done as far as his NHL potential is concerned.
