Unless I'm mistaken (which certainly isn't out of the question), he will be subject to waivers starting next season, so he needs to be a full time NHL player by next year or else we'll have to cut bait like Toronto did with Colbourne. I guess he could theoretically improve a lot over next summer, but I think he needs to at least be close by the end of this season.
