I remember the interview. This team has never used the term "final cut". I think it was Treliving and it was more along the lines of Sam was going to be in the opening night roster for the purpose of the 9 games for futher evaluation.
The 9 games to start the season out of camp is a lot different than the kid being dropped into a playoff push. It could be argued that he's fresh right now and he could have an advantage of being 100% compared to many players banged up from the first 58 games. Or on the other hand many of the players are in war mode and it's going to be a rough remaining 24 games. Tough call, but I bet Treliving goes conservitave and he goes straight to Kingston.
