He is 24 years old so this is his window to make it. Not likely to mature with another year in the AHL.

I've seen plenty of players slowly improve after their 24th birthday (Paul Byron for a recent example), and you have to remember that last year was Jooris' first year playing pro hockey after a college career. If we have patience for other similar college graduates in their first couple of pro years (Gaudreau, Arnold, Agostino, Hanowski, Knight, Ramage), then how are we supposed to assume that Jooris is washed up after this year? You have the strangest ideas about prospects…or just hockey in general…that I have ever heard.
