For example, we're talking about Pospisil like he's a great young prospect....he's turning 25. He could be out of his prime within a couple of years.

I think Sutter was hesitant to play youth for sure.
But who was stunted? Pospisil isn't a good example. You can't be 21st on our CP list for prospects and be stunted the summer before you break out.
He came out of left field to everyone likely including the team.
