That's hardly any amount of time that demands immediate NHL placement. Seriously... why do they have to start with the NHL club? What's wrong with starting them on the farm and calling them up as needs dictate? Frankly it's a waste of money and a waste of an asset to shove them in now without any overriding need to do so.
