If he comes in and is physically ready and there is no doubt that he’s ready to excel in the NHL and not just tread water as the #6, then you keep him up. My point is the odds are he won’t be ready to excel and won’t be physically ready. Defensemen typically take longer to develop. If it’s 50:50 then you send him down. This guy and Wolf are the franchise. The worst thing we could do is rush him. I do agree that Craig will make the correct decision for his development, whatever that is.
