Magnus Paajarvi was another Oiler that should have spent time in the AHL instead of coming right into the NHL.
Probably could argue that both Gagner and Cogliano could have been developed better with more AHL seasoning.
It does speak to the Oilers development program that all of Gagner, Cogliano, Eberle, RNH, Paajarvi, had their best PPG with the Oilers within their first two seasons with the Oilers...and then regressed in seasons after. (It's early for RNH but the other 4 became worse players as they "developed" with the Oilers)
