Half of the posts on this board are redundant.
The truth is if he is ready Ala Stecher or Hutton, then let the kid play and if he falters for a prolonged period then at that point send him down for a bit.
He is also older and far more mature than either Virtanen or McCann where.
This board is so bi-polar it's sad. In one thread its comments about keeping the kids in the AHL, the next it's people combining about why "X" player has not yet been given a chance when they are also only 20-22 and still progressing as players in the AHL.
People need to just accept that every player is different and that no season will be the same as the ones that came prior.
