I feel he's a guy that needs confidence and playing sporadically on the big club or being benched isn't going to help him which is why I really feel it's important that he be sent down to Abbotsford if the team doesn't think he's ready.

The hardest part about this rebuild is going to be team and fan patience in the young players. It takes time and you just have to accept the growing pains.
Fully agree with that all...I just don't agree with your thought that Feaster in the GM seat means he's not going anywhere. Feaster's opinion has suddenly started to change since Burke got there, with only really less than 2 weeks of training camp to base those "changes of thoughts" since April. We'll see what his comments are on Sven in the next half hour or so.
