If Steve Yzerman isn't bringing up better offensive players, then he's probably got long term hockey reasons. My guesses have to do with amateur draft position this year, expansion draft exposure in the summer, the actual development of those offensive prospects who might get bigger minutes in the AHL right now, and the possible return on the older less skilled guys at the trade deadline if they get a few points in the NHL, rather than if they sit out all year. Does that help?
