Zary and Pospsil could have been buried in the AHL under Treliving.
Zary looks like a top 6 player and his numbers in the AHL didn't give you reason to think that would happen at age 22.

I agree that younger players need opportunity and Sutter didn't really give any chances.
But interesting using Zary, as a part of me thinks he's looked this good because he had a couple extra years in the minors to learn his game. Guys like Baertschi were rushed and had too much pressure on them right away. Lots of young kids are probably better served with more time in the minors (even if I as a fan don't like it!).
