Assuming your point is "why not give *insert prospect name here* 9 games to see if they can figure it out?", I would say that's an interesting idea but probably something best done near the end of the season if they aren't in a playoff race.
Might not be a bad idea if/when an injury happens. If it's long term bring up one guy for 9 and if he doesn't cut it give the other guy 9.
That said, I don't think 9 games is any kind of magic number. Some guys adjust a lot quicker (such as Monahan) and some a lot slower (Backlund).
