I don’t think that’s true. Game time is the follow-up opportunity that still has to be earned.
The first opportunity is to practice with the big team, interact with coaches and players, watch video, all that stuff.
If he’s ready, he’ll earn his game time in those moments, even if it doesn’t come in this call up.
If he’s not, he’ll he’ll get the cliched ‘seeing what NHL pros do’ experience and be better for next time.
It’s way more than just a better pay check.
