This could also just be a way for his old coach to motivate him. I think it's nice to have a higher risk skill player in the system for a change. Work ethic is something that can be taught and learned in the AHL, whereas natural skill can't be given by the coaches. If he doesn't work hard enough or take the AHL seriously, he's going to be humbled pretty quickly. Similar thing happened with Brodie and he figured it out. We'll see if Howse steps up to the challenge, and I hope he will.
