I maintain my position. Rassmus is too green, and putting him in just to have a look puts him in a position to fail.
If he must play, due to injury, shelter him for 10-11 min and give him Engelland for protection.
Do not throw him in against the penguins just for a look, and take a chance that their 3-4 lines dominate him and destroy his confidence.
It seems like a lot of people want to just see this kid on the ice for a look, and right now is not the time.
If Wideman fails it doesn't cost this organization going forward. If the prospect does, it's different.
