Hell, even if he plays very sheltered minutes and gets some prime PP time, he's unquestionably adding a skillset the team doesn't have. The kid's got confidence in spades, now see what he can do.
He's also never played against pros and you'd be throwing him in in must win games that even a single mistake can be the difference between ending the season or not. At least let the kid have a full practice and watch a game sitting next to Conroy so he can digest it a bit
