Agreed with FA above. Should have left him in junior. He is not physically or mentally ready for the NHL, and that's not his fault, the issue is his birthday. So what if he went back and scored 140 pts, his confidence skyrockets and he grows a bit more into his body. Next year he is off to the AHL. He should 100% be given free reign to improvise in the O Zone, but he still needs to play some D without getting crushed by 220pd forwards.
Is all moot now, he will be mostly stapled to the bench in favour of PPs and OZone starts
