Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but I think the signs were there early... The similarities between he and Nino Niederreiter's path to the NHL are interesting and not surprising.
I personally would've let him not sign and let him rot in Europe for a year or two rather than sending him to the Canucks... Maybe Brad's and Brian's willingness to send him to a divisional rival for a second is not only telling about what other teams thought of him, but also just how little they thought of him.
