I mean it's one thing if he's looked passable in his time, but he's been one of the better players (granted on a cruddy team). "Rushing him" would've been playing him at the start of this year.
And that's fine, rather use that 3rd on Willander.
-2 in and 1.3GF/60 vs 4.0GA/60 in 3GP, is not Good or NHL Ready imo, but it's a very small sample size and yay, he Scored on 1/4 Shots, Averaged 1 Hit Per Game and had 2 Takeaways vs. 1 Giveaway
Hope he turns out well for you guys, but it does generally take Defensemen longer = more time to Develop than Forwards, even if they were Drafted in the Top-10
I didn't think Jake Sanderson could do it either and he 's doing pretty good, although he is 6 months older and has NCAA experience, so has more experience playing against Full Grown Adults and not to mention, has significantly more experience playing the North American game. He's also from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which tends to produce Absolute Studs and Amazing Hockey Players ; ).
