Not to mention with our glut of defensive prospects he'd be far from assured of getting playing time. Coach would probably play the more experienced Kylington, Andersson, Healey, Wotherspoon, Kulak, Hickey (if he leaves school), etc ahead of him. He'd be competing with Ollas-Mattson too if he comes over. So you want him playing bit time or being scratched? No thanks.
Leave him in Harvard where he's playing big minutes until you know he's ready to play big minutes in pro. No need to rush him to the minors.
