“All I can say is I think the days of us leaving kids in the AHL for three-plus years or whatever, we don’t have the luxury of having Nick Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk and those type of guys up top where we can do that,†Wright said.
It’s easy to be patient when there are Stanley Cups being won, but as the Pittsburgh Penguins have proven the past two springs with Matt Murray, Bryan Rust, Conor Sheary and Jake Guentzel, you can play the kids and still do all right.
