I still think it sets a bad precedent for an NHL club when you have a young player who was still a prospect getting a single 45 second shift - it might have been the right hockey move but I think the optics of it were horrible in the sense that other prospects take note of those actions. He was buried after that and I would imagine that his confidence was gone afterward, he lasted one more year and now he is making a living in the Swiss leagues.
