He needed it.
He was going to be the odd man out if he didn't show his stuff.
They set him up to fail/really prove himself. Dressed a AHL defense, going against Duchene and MacKinnon. I thought they were really hanging him out to dry so that when he got pumped they could say 'hes not that good' and set him up for a waiver move.
Instead he shuts the door, gets noticed. Regardless of who ends up staying, you can't waiver this kid.
