Just for simplicity, if he plays 10 minutes in the NHL and 20 in the AHL, starting in the AHL will give give 900mins of ice time vs 820 if he made the roster opening night.
I think he will be up before American Thanksgiving. Once teams get close to that 10 game mark for rookies, there will be some roster decisions made which will make it easier to make some changes. Teams are still evaluating their teams.

All true, gotta hope they get him up soon. Very nice to have a wild card tho this season and guys know that if they don't keep up their game there's a guy that is knocking on the door to take their spot.
