He should absolutely get a shot but people need to temper their expectations and not jump to conclusions. If you're expecting him to be the next Gaudreau or bust, you're in for a rough ride. I think if you give him an opportunity to move the needle in the middle-six, you might find something good.
That said, he's both an elite finisher and playmaker in the AHL. Pretty hard to look past 8 goals and 13 points in 9 games.
