Those are arguably the most crucial years of a NHL players development. 31 NHL games over 3 seasons. Next season I feel like regardless of how he looks at camp he needs to go back down to the AHL and play 20 minutes a night for at least half the season before getting a look again. He needs to basically reset how he thinks/feels/plays the game and that isn't going to happen for him at the NHL level right away.
Yeah. At this point, he needs rebuild so many of his core attributes that he might even need to spend some time in the ECHL at first. The talent is NHL level, but the rest needs to be rebuilt in a way I didn't really realize earlier in the season.
I know nobody wants to give up on him, but ... I think he's now on the "long shot" category.
