Not the argument I'm making.
Even said above the argument that the line disparity is too tight is valid.
I'm saying if you bring up kids and play them at Rooney's ice level (8 minutes), or even Richie (10) you aren't developing them and you're putting more pressure on balancing the lines exasperating the issue you're bringing up.
