In Theory kingston could lose all 6 of their D next year.

The fact that O'Grady a first round draft pick is not getting minutes is going to hurt Kingston not help them. There is less pressure on a player to learn the game in the first half of the season than when the team is fighting fir a playoff position.

The other issue is that if he gets minimal minutes he is going to be tense and afraid to do anything unless he makes a mistake and never sees the ice again.

In this league you draft first and second round players expecting them to compete right away.

No I do not expect him to play 1st line minutes but third line is not out of the question. If he is going to sit then he should be sent back to a tier 2 team to get experience.
