Obviously situations differ and I didn't complain when Gaudreau or Monahan stuck. Gaudreau is older and Monahan bigger. Both were not recovering from injury.

I simply say, if there is doubt, err on the side of over ripening (the Detroit way).
I don't think you know what a false dichotomy is:

Quote:
A false dilemma, or false dichotomy, is a logical fallacy which involves presenting two opposing views, options or outcomes in such a way that they seem to be the only possibilities: that is, if one is true, the other must be false, or, more typically, if you do not accept one then the other must be accepted.
There are more than two ways (being the "Oiler method" and the "Red Wings" method) to develop prospects. Furthermore, sending Sam Bennett to Kingston is not, by fiat of your "directness", the "Red Wings method" and keeping him up is not, by fiat of your "directness", the "Oiler method".

There's a nuanced discussion here. You should consider taking part in it.

Edit: Also, what CSW said.
