Yeah, we'd be saying, is this kid wasting years playing where none of the immaturity in his game will ever be addressed. Hope he can play pro.
This line gets used for every player who ever struggles at the next level. Hell, if we sent Larsson to the CHL I'm sure he'd be leading them in scoring, maybe that would mean he's great.
Eh. Playing at a lower level allows a player to work on their weaknesses while not having to struggle at their strength. Something that could impact their confidence. Players after getting drafted usually get a set of things to work on from their drafting team when they go back to juniors or college. Teams keep in contact with the player to varying degrees to get updates on their progress. Its not a guarantee they fix their issues. But they don't go back to juniors/college with their drafting team hoping they just "figure it out".
