This is just crazy talk after 3 games, and sending him back to the farm just to get him away from the team is a bizarre reasoning. either he's ready for the NHL or he's not, its pretty much that simple.
After 3 days he looks like he has an NHL skill set and physically he seems to be mature enough to be here, but the telling tale will be the next 6 games as he moves from adjustment to playing at speed.
when we talk to new football players, the one thing we notice for them is that the game seems to be going a billion miles an hour. But at some point you see their head turn and they start seeing the game and it starts slowing down to a manageable speed. We're basing looking for his head turn now.
