I guess a case can be made that you need to see if he develops chemistry with someone, but I would rather he did that in 2 weeks vs burning out at some point in the season.

None of the kids have made the team yet.
The early pre-season games are against weak competition and the vets not going hard. You have to see how the kids can handle the games as they get tougher and tougher towards the regular season to really get an idea of whether they're ready r not.
Tonight will be a good test for them as the pace and skill-level of the game should be much higher.
