eco- Yeah exactly. And I think it’s very important that you let a player gradually grow into a role as he matures and becomes ready to handle that role.
The worst you can do is throw a kid into the NHL, let him play 40 games, and then sit down and note how he isn’t ready when it comes to X, Y and Z and demote him to the AHL when his confidence has been ruined. You should error on the side of caution.
