I think you're pretty naive if the management didn't at least think that was one of the possibilities.
On the other hand they said 'if the kid can play well given this AHL defense, then we really might have something here'
Maybe it's not 'setting him up to fail'.....maybe a better term is 'trial by fire'

I thought the line up was a pretty clear indication of who they need more looks at. They don't need to see the top 5 D. They don't need to see the majority of the top 9 forwards. Why play them?
