It could really benefit him if he comes in and gets a few points right off the bat, but it could also stunt his growth if he just gets absolutely shut down, smacked all over the place, or even seriously injured. Playoff hockey is just a different breed of tough and to see him get taken out by a flying knee or elbow or get slashed and break his wrist would just be absolutely awful
