There are lots of guys that are just thrust into things to quickly and never recover. Im not sure there has been many, if any, that have taken the long progression road and never made it that should have.

Definitely. That's why I'm not opposed to parking all of Shinkaruk, Poirier, Klimchuk, Foo, Kylington, Andersson, etc in Stockton for another year. Nobody realistically is going to claim any of the potential waiver guys. It also allows them to get more experience and to see if they can take their games to the next level.
Time will eventually run out on a good portion of them if they don't start elevating themselves though, but it's better to find out whether they'll sink or swim playing 20 min a night in Stockton vs being over their heads at the NHL level.
