That's the scary thing, eh? They could probably bring him up next year as a 5-6 playing sheltered minutes and allow him to grow into a top pairing defenceman over time. They will probably throw him to the wolves as a 1-2 and pray to god he figures it out without being permanently damaged in the process. Both mentally and physically, because we all know the Oilers will rush him back into action if he should get hurt.
