Either way, I hope they sign him right away and just get that part out of the way.

It's not a 'sure thing' - if he shows to be too good to send down, they might keep him.
However, he just turned 18 (last week). He is young and physically immature. He would have to seriously wow them to earn a spot.
Then there is the fact that, with Stajan, Backlund and Monahan here, it would be tough to earn a job.
On top of that, having an 18 AND a 20 year old C is a recipe for trouble IMO.
