Hope he settles in to about 20-22 min a game. But I think this kid has a strong stamina engine. Watched him after long shifts and he’s not gassed. Just stay healthy Matthew. That hard slide into the boards was scary but he sprang right up. He’s worth the ticket price alone. Had to get Hulu to watch him this season so I don’t miss a game.
you may want to wait at least 20 games before you crown him God's gift to hockey, 4 games and he is the best…oh he scored 2 secondary goals, now i see what you mean by greatness……soon they will ban the secondary BS rule in hockey…great player after 4 games…joke
With respect, this is a stupid conversation. NO, you play him based on how he's playing at any given time. Top players play top minutes and if he's playing at a high level, you play him. He's 18! He could play 35 minutes per night. Injuries? seriously, this is hockey and he will get hurt eventually just like every other player, even the ones who play 13 minutes per night. The really sad thing is, in 3 games he's already the best player on the team, not just defenseman. Shows how bad the talent is on this team. But, play him as much as you can so he develops as fast as possible. No backing off unless he's got some minor injuries or fatigued. Fans need to cross their fingers, he may be a serious franchise player.

Hes fine
As long as the staff keeps a close eye on fatigue, he's fine. What we really need is a D core that doesn't need to be carried by an 18 year old.

Any love for Mayfield being a great sidekick or does it not matter?
