We need to pump the brakes on Mete and Juulsen. Yes they are valuable prospects going forward. But every team has those kind of youngsters in their ranks.
Mete has particularly struggled to make an impact offensively and he could benefit from some seasoning in the AHL. Same for Juulsen who showed how green he still was. Seeing him get lit up for a season playing next to some Bargainbin fodder would be the perfect way to mess up his development. Since the goal is to build a contender, we need them to have an impact, not just survive at the next level.
