Coach is under lots of pressure, its an easy decision to sit the rookie.

Maximize the teaching time without compromising his development is a good thing. He can sit in the pressbox and see how someone like Brouwer plays from up top. He can see how Hossa plays in the defensive zone as well. Come back and apply that in the next few games. If he is still not picking it up quickly, then you send him down.
