It could say a lot of things. Injuries, form, strategy to blood the young guys...If a kid straight out u18's comes in and is best 22 ..it has to say something about your side. Now if we drafted a young Joel etc its another thing but recently we have been seeing several draftees get games very early.
Basically I think I agree with you that it does depend on how well he plays ... but it did take Henry 12 months on the Rookie list before he got a game... even CC who looks like he is being mentioned in the preseason puffs did not play first year...
I don't think we can guess unless it happens.
