I'm 100% on board with calling them up and giving them another crack and showing they belong here, I'm just not willing to say they belong here until they show it.

I get what you mean.
What else would you use NHL Ready to describe. If they succeed in the NHL they become an NHL player and if they don't, they become a plug/role player. The players mentioned are ready to play in the NHL.
There is also part that some players need a few games in the NHL to learn, go back and reaching that next level to become 'NHL Ready'
