Bad year for him, and a good call by Burke to take the necessary action.

He's better than any Heat defence man besides maybe Smith and Billins. There is a large gap between the nhl and ahl as we saw when Breen was up here after being raved about with the Heat.
The main problem is you don't want him taking ice time from some of the guys you are trying to develop.
