Doesn't mean they'll stick, but I'd rather spend the last 20games of the year testing and seeing the young kids as research for the following year.

What I meant - and thought I explained it - is this:
I don't want prospects given a spot, ala Baertschi in Vancouver. "You are going to be our 2nd line LW"
What I do want to see, is them open up a spot on the 23-man roster so that prospects that have earned it, can be brought up to see what they can do. Create a window to bring guys up for testing.
In other words, we want the same thing.
