<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>Did they not extend the clause when the season was delayed? I thought it had been established that whenever the season starts if Stutzle wants to come over he'll be allowed to, but maybe that's just a handshake agreement. Idk, I do feel like they'll have him in the lineup if they can though, he doesn't really have anything to prove in the DEL and the experience even as a middle six guy playing against the toughest competition in the world will be invaluable if we actually see him as a first liner in a couple years (which imo we do). If we let him slide and leave him in Germany and DON'T take advantage of that by acquiring a cap dump then I'm gonna be annoyed lol</div></div>

Personally I think teams have to look at their players psychologically more than we can as armchair GM's.

Unless they're completely done with their junior leagues (the Matthews, McDavid s, Crosby's, etc of the world) where they come in to the nhl not even as good players like say Tkachuk but as league leaders immediately, you have to really think about what's best for their development.

Different players will react differently to becoming a third liner all of a sudden. It's a subtle thing who will benefit the most when. We can't know from here. I tend to think teams are bringing to many draft plus 1 guys up and I think it isn't good for some of them.

Guys like Galchenyuk and Yakupov had the skill. They both played well at first. The problem was in development.

Even guys like Nichuskin.
