Doesn't seem to have hurt Detroit. Nyquist and Tatar played two seasons in the AHL. Brendan Smith, their best d prospect, played three season in the AHL and only cracked the lineup last season at 23. Tampa under Yzerman are also taking this approach - Palat and Johnson both played two seasons in the AHL. Gudas played three. Seems to be working out okay.
