Hayton needs to stay in Canada another year. Söderström should stay in Europe two more years then start in Tucson the third year. Minimum on both.
Hayton just turned 19 this month. If he's that ready, let him dominate the OHL. It won't hurt him to stay in SSM. He'll get much more playing time.
I'm not saying this is what will happen. That's just what I think SHOULD happen. If I had to bet I would say he makes the team.

No player has ever stagnated. That’s a complete myth with absolutely no basis in reality.

Turris stagnated under stupid usage... In the NHL. Like asking Hayton to be our 4C/W might be...

You’re claiming that Turris stayed in college too long? Haha.
I'd be surprised if Hayton wasn't in the NHL this next year. Heard Tocc on Burns and Gambo the other day and he sounded like he 100% expects him to be in his lineup this year

Turris wasn't ready...he didn't tear up the NCAA, in fact it was the opposite. He only had 35pts in 36 games with only had 11 goals. Plenty of top selected players come in and put up superior numbers. Turris' numbers were pedestrian in comparison. He forced his way onto the lineup and TGO obliged. He felt compelled, some of it had to do with Boedker performing so well at camp and took all the spotlight from Turris at rookie camp. He could have used more seasoning, but he was absolutely misused when he was with the Yotes for sure, no doubt.
If the kids are good enough to play, they need to play in the top 6. If they can't play in the top 6, then let them stay down...ala Domi.

I'm guessing they give him one year before they try to get him into the lineup. He's smart and passes well which instantly puts him into the Chayka mancrush zone. He plays his gaps really well, too. I would love to see some more development in his offense before we rush him into an NHL spot.

Let him be the guy now that Frost is gone. Instead of a fourth line winger.
I want him to absolutely crush it before we start crushing him.

Same. We already managed Turris and Strome poorly, please don't ruin Hayton

We let Domi over cook, he turned out great. We dont have much success with others who have gone down alternative paths.

OEL didn't play a complete season as a Coyote until age 20. He split age 19 between Phoenix and San Antonio.
Hanzal also 20 before 1st NHL season.
Doan didn't play in Phoenix until age 20. (he was 19 for 1st season in Winnipeg though ;-))
Hayton just turned 19 this month. I don't think one more year in JRs is a tragedy or will "ruin" him if he doesn't see NHL ice til age 20.

He’s already in the better of the two leagues. Also, the better equipped team. Brynas is basically the Plaza Hotel compared to the Motel 6 of the Tucson Roadrunners. Adapting to smaller ice is important, but I wouldn’t ask him to downgrade so severely this early on. He’s developing in a good place, a good organization, a good league and good and far away from our mess. I say we leave our stain off him as long as possible.

One more year in junior had literally never ruined any prospect ever.
That's why they have training camp and pre-season. Both D and C are hard to crack the NHL roster first year, much harder than a winger.
