Lerby and Yelesin are still developing prospects too. You don't want to be forced into a position where they are rushed into the NHL to play 4-5 minutes a night or sitting as a healthy scratch for large chunks of the season.
Depth is good because there is no harm with Petrovic sitting in the press box all year. It is better for developing players to play big minutes in the AHL, especially during their first season in North America.
