He doesn't make that much of a difference at this point, what is most important is that he plays as much as possible. Playing on the 3rd/4th line all year, getting scratched sometimes and averaging about 12 mins a night is not good for his development IMO. That being said, if he improves to the point where he can get those minutes, then it is a good call to keep him up. But how long do you wait? Like was mentioned previously, we can't afford to burn an RFA season on 41 games that could easily be replaced by a farm hand.
