"He’ll end up coming to camp now, and he’ll get the experience of a training camp, and he’ll get some games," said Chiarelli. "He had a terrific development camp, and I know everyone’s talking about him. He’s a good young player, he’s just 18 years old."
"It’s well-documented that we’re looking for skill and speed and he fits that bill, but let’s not put the cart before the horse with David. I think we’re fortunate to get him where we got him and he had a terrific camp, and we’ll see where it goes from there."
The Bruins get the benefit of seeing him in training camp, followed by the preseason and possibly the nine-game regular season window, if he progresses and proves himself ready for time in the NHL.
"Well, it’s again, [camp is] another step along the way, and it’s important that we don’t skip those steps," said Chiarelli. "And at each step, the level of play, the tempo of play, the strength of the players all increases, so with a young 18-year-old who’s 171 pounds, you have to be careful. Now, he’s strong, he’s naturally strong, so he’s got that going for him, but we’ll have to see."
