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
