Add Colborne a few games later as well as Berra and Ramo if you consider them rookies. No hesitance to use younger players. Monohan, Colborne, Bouma, Byron (and Ramo) all graduated last year even before Stempniak got traded. Sure the team sucked but these guys were bright spots*. So why fill the roster with vets?
Edit: *except Berra, and Baertschi ultimately made way for Byron
