But we didn't, and kept the youth in the AHL for an extra 25 games. I don't see how you attribute keeping them in the AHL for a quarter of the NHL season to the recent success.

Bennett still playing centre at the beginning of the season made icing Jankowski right away difficult. I agree that Stajan holding the 4C spot down is a mistake, so I'll partially give you the 4-8 points edge.
Hathaway and Mangiapane were both brought up because of injuries, so what would you propose we
shouldhave done with them to start the year? Rittich played a period of hockey in the NHL last year, so yes I do think that picking up Lack was necessary to give him and Gillies some minutes early on in Stockton.
