Andersson, Mangiapane and Dube were all developed in the AHL.
Sure, Tkachuk - a player that they didn't actually have to develop hit off pretty well...but the things that made him unique and great seem to have been pulled out of his game by the team, so...
Monahan is another one who they put into the NHL right away, and he hasn't really developed into what they were hoping he would become and were actively shopping him last summer. Instead of building Monahan into a 200 foot centre, they just tossed all the hard minutes at Backlund and allowed Monahan to develop into whatever it is he is now.
