He spent a lot of time in the pressbox.

Even though it worked out for his development in the end I think they should have sent him back earlier and had him go to WJHC.

I agree that sending a guy to WJHC and then having him come back to the NHL is a horrible idea and having a guy go to WJHC and then back to junior is only slightly better.
