I'd like him used kind of like Galchenyuk was used last year. I remember him playing a lot on a line with Gallagher and Prust, which seems like it would be an excellent line to develop his predicted 2-way game on. I'd like to see Sean sheltered a bit at first, maybe on a line with Glencross (having Baertschi and Cammy as our top 6 LW) and maybe a Jones, Stemp, or Galliardi if he is able to play both wings.
Maybe after the trade deadline see if he's ready to take a bit more of an offensive role with Hudler/Baertschi on the 2nd line. Maybe give him 2nd unit PP/PK duties during the year.
I think if he proves he's ready in training camp it would be a huge benefit to him to play with NHL players, I believe he's a very mature player for his age and getting NHL experience as early as possible could be great for his development.
