I watched him at the start of this year. Also saw him at a restaurant after the game. He is phydically very small. Looks like he was 15 or 16.
If he was coming out of college or a minor pro league I could see them maybe doing it. But from what I saw he’s not physically ready for that type of game. Skill wise and game sense yes. But he’d get steamrolled. He was a boy. NHL is for men. They’ll have to wean him in. You probably don’t do that in the middle of a playoff race.
Too risky in my mind.
