Might be that a prospect outplayed a veteran, but is better served by additional development in junior or Ahl.
Short term yea, might outperform Setoguchi and we get an additional 2 pts this season.
But what if long term the prospect develops even more?
No doubt there are better players in the system, but maybe they can be "better than better" one year from now.
I get the meritocracy argument, but what else can mgmt say?
