Honestly, it's not up for debate. He wasn't physically ready for the NHL and it caught up to him rather quickly. We'll see if he continues to rebound in St. Louis but it's not a for sure thing.
Agreed he had some good stretches last year but that is a big improvement from 2011-2012 were he had none and looked like a lost puppy.
