The youth needs to step up period.
And Babcock is the primary element holding them back. HE'S the one who insisted on Cleary and Bertuzzi and Tootoo. If Babcock had his way, Nyquist would have been on the first bus back to GR once Cleary and Bertuzzi were cleared to play again.
Yes, Holland likes to "over-season" the youngsters too, but certainly not to the degree that Babock has been clinging to the vets like a security blanket. Until Babcock came into town, once a youngin' had laced up his skates and threw on the winged wheel, he stayed unless he played himself off the roster.
