They just need to let him go play. He's going to make mistakes, he's going to get beat up. I think a lot of it comes from needing to be competitive and needing to play mistake free hockey (this is what we've heard from a lot of pundits about the flames) to win games. He's not Schaefer but he's not far off from where Hughes was when he started. If they want to wait until he's a responsible player it will never happen, he needs to spread his wings, make his mistakes and learn on the job.
