If I am not mistaken, Jarmo, not Larsen, decides where the kids play. So its Jarmos' decision to have them in the NHL.
Are you asking why Kuraly plays more than Bemstrom and the other young kids? Because the team is trying to win, and more than likely Kuraly has proven to Larsen that he can be trusted more so than the others. It doesnt matter if we are out of the playoffs, we want the team to finish strong and not just give up. Absolutely no GM, coach or player worth a damn is EVER going to try to lose or tank. Larsen has already said as much, they coach and play to win every single night.
We only see what happens in games and in the practices that are open to the public., For all we know, Bemstrom could be dogging it in practice(unlikely), or making mistakes that Larsen doesnt feel comfortable putting him out there in certain situations. Maybe he feels that Bemmer just isnt making the proper reads, IDK. While we might be retooling. that doesnt mean that we are purposely going to give younger players ice time over more experienced players. Half of these kids wouldnt even be in the lineup right now if we were fully healthy.
But on that same note, just because a kid isnt playing doesnt mean hes not gaining valuable experience.
