Holland admitted on Oilers radio a while back when he was in Detroit that his "over ripening" guys is just some myth. When you have HOF's on your team, etc, he said flat out you can't throw young guys in. There is no room for them. That is the beauty of having top talent around.

He said if we were picking #1, the guy would probably be on the roster right away. This is just something the media parrots. Holland has no ego. He laughed at the notion. I believe it was with Gregor. This is like 7-10 years ago or so

That said, of course you let guys ripen if they need it. if they don't, try them out with the big boys.
