Playing a dman on his offside is never a good idea. Playing a dman with little to no NHL experience on his offside would be foolish in my opinion. It's hard enough for young dmen to learn NHL defense to begin with, the last thing you want to do is make it even harder on the guy by playing him out of position just to please some impatient fans.

You know what else makes it harder to learn how to play NHL defense? Never actually playing NHL defense.
And I can't speak for anyone else, but it seems that most people here are worried about how not playing will impact his development, not just that they're impatient. I think it's legitimate concern. I agree that Tippet's job is to win games today, but I think that the divisional positioning is pretty much set. The Oilers are 9 points back of the Leafs, they're not catching them. They might flip-flop with Winnipeg but that's about it. This should absolutely be the time that they're tweaking the line-up to see what they have, or give guys that are bit banged up a break here and there.
Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games
