As an example of my point, having Granlund in the AHL last year was simply the correct (and only) option - no 'not rushing' there. However, if Granlund is in the AHL this year (likely), it could very well be argued that he is being 'not rushed' as he has demonstrated that he is now NHL-ready.

Granlund has far from demonstrated he's NHL ready.............he's demonstrated IMO that he's: "ready for an opportunity to show he's NHL ready."
But there's a big difference between being NHL ready, and being ready to be given a shot.
