You have to show guys that putting in the work does pay off, it’s a huge opportunity for the staff to show all the young guys what’s possible.
I know he’s waiver exempt and would be the easy out at this point, but I see no reason to not give him what he’s rightfully earned.
You can always send him down before 10 games if he starts to struggle at the start.
This is a fantastic story, even better than Honzek making it last year.

His contract doesn't slide if he plays in the AHL, or is there another impact of the nine-game rule I'm unaware of?
