"We need to leave spots for kids"
And what if, like last training camp, they disappoint and no one steps up enough to take that 3RW spot? We go in with gaping holes on the wings with no one to fill them adequately.
I'd rather have the second most proven point producer in NHL history who is coming off 46 on my third line. The kids are welcome to nab Lazar or Stajan's spot if they're up for it. Or even Jagr's, if he has somehow fallen off. I'll take the minimal risk of a 1 year though for the opportunity at what he can bring.
