"I'll be very honest -- he's not going to sit up there for a month," Julien said. "That's not going to happen. We've got some good young players (who) need to play, especially early in the year. You've got to get those guys opportunities to play. When that's going to happen, I'm not sure yet, but certainly don't expect to see him in the stands for a whole month."
1. Is it better to have him in Prov and have a traditional emergency 7th D?
2. Do you think it is McQuaid that ends up sitting some games? He plays the least, can't sit Krug because PP, why break up your second pair with a kid you're trying to turn into a #1, etc.
