edit: I would sacrifice wins as long as the kids showed improvement.

It is hard to say if the results, our record, would have been much different if Higgins was in the lineup instead of a youngster.
Beyond that, maybe WD would have a little more faith in Cracknell than McCann as 4lc.
So looking at who would be recalled to replace the youngsters- Kenins, Vey, Gaunce... Vey might get a little more rope, but WD might not have any more faith in the Utica call ups than JV, McCann or Baertschi.
I heard a portion of G.Valk on 1040 and he was saying McCann was having difficulty with the strength of some of the opposing players, lifting his stick, getting bounced around a bit.
Some tough decisions to be made. I think it is great.
I should add, Hutton doesn't seem to be lumped in with the rookies from the playing time he has been seeing. But I guess we shouldn't be surprised if or when he stumbles a bit.
