The kid has performed to date, no doubt, but I'm going to reserve judgement. Games 6, 7 and 8 of his 9 game tryout are on the road against Anaheim, San Jose and LA. Those games should be used as his barometer. If he keeps his head above water against the likes of Getzlaf, Kopitar, Carter, Thorton and Couture, then he'll have earned it.
