A half dozen NHL starts during the final 10-12 games of the season would go a long way in terms of his development and aid in the decision making process for next year while not placing any unnecessary weight on his shoulders when he's already trying to adjust to the big leauge.

12-13 games above. 500 is typical for an 8th seed
They are 6. So 17-8 wouldn't be the bar.
Probably something like 15-8-2 for 41-28-13 on the season (95 pts)
Still a tall task the way they're going, but not as steep as you're suggesting
