That would be better for their development for sure.... But, besides Weber and Petry, we are going to live once again with Schlemko, Benn, Alzner, Reilly, maybe one of the two Czech guys and-or Ouellet.
That's fine!
We need to take a couple of shots at a top 5 pick the next 2 drafts.

The guy is no worse than Reilly, Alzner, Schlemko or Benn
Disagreed. Guy can't skate. He's definitely behind Reilly. Alzner is broken, physically, but if he can miraculously heal, he's a much better hockey player. Schlemko would be OK as a pp specialist on a good team but useless on the Habs. I'll give you Benn. In a way, Ouellet's issues are similar to McCarron in that he never seemed to be able to get his legs strong enough to keep up with the pace. At his age, there's very little hope that'll ever happen, no matter how good his hockey IQ is.
