So what if he does Timmy. He's not ready, he's 17. He needs to develop. He has many a player who have developed, are hardened championship players ahead of him. If he plays 3-6 games this season, should that be considered a waste? He needs to develop his game and we have a very good youth set up to help him do so.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few go out on loan come Jan. A little surprise none have so far though.
