This kid hasn't played a hockey game in 2 1/2 weeks, is being thrown on the fourth line in his first NHL game, and will play 3-4 shifts a period. Go "earn it" kid. It's almost as if Sutter has built in an excuse as to why he won't play him.

As you say, he hasn't played a game in 2 1/2 weeks. And he has never played an NHL game.
But you think he should be put on the top 6 anyway? And play 17 minutes against the other team's top 6?
Why do some of you want to put prospects ahead of the team's needs?
