Alternately, it could play out well and catapult his confidence in Oettinger like ways, sustaining him as one of the best up and coming goalie prospects in the league.
There's a lot of bellyaching about his confidence in totally made up scenarios. If we bring him up and he plays poorly he probably goes back down. It doesn't have to be a one way ticket, and it doesn't have to have long term impacts on his confidence. Saying it will destroy him mentally is just as strange as claiming it's the only way to ensure he's a success.
