I have heard Sutter say numerous times, all the way back to when he coached in Chicago, the NHL is not a development league that is what the AHL is for. IF a young guy can play he will play, if he doesn't show more in his chances than a fringe vet he won't.

The only young guys who showed much that I saw in preseason were Duer and Pospisil. Kjillington would be considered a vet now with over 100 games and still has a few mistakes to round out but has made great strides.
