This guy seems really teachable, mature and driven given his insane hockey sense, non-hockey sense, academics, etc. In a lot of ways, that makes him more ready than all the other guys who make the NHL at age 18.
Even if he's not fully ready for big minutes, there's a huge argument for him to stay with the team and just learn from the pros on the team.
- sheltered minutes 5-on-5 (10 mins)
- PP opportunity (4 mins)
- 3 vs 3 overtime
= 14 mins per game
Good enough to stay up IMO.
