Basically how I feel about it. If we burn off a year of his ELC, and he ends up being due for a big raise in a couple years, then that likely means he's done pretty well for himself. Personally, I feel that getting a look at the NHL game via some sheltered minutes could be very good for him, and give him an idea of what he needs to work on during the offseason.
That being said, if his wrist is still bothering him, that changes things completely. Better to rest it if that's the case.
