Playing against 16 year olds isn't going to get you any more prepared for the NHL. Sure, if the player is small still than yes, let him grow a bit and fill out but if he's already an NHL sized dude, let him play in a league that will get him closer to the NHL.

Lots of times though you need to not put a player at a level that sinks them. Most eligible prospects are too good for Junior by 19/20 season, but if you're not ready, your not ready. Aka Michael Ferland
