haven't really followed him and Tampa this season to be honest, but what's the "untenable" situation exactly? The kid has played 89 NHL games in his career and has had only two very short AHL stints I believe, so what's the problem? That Cooper and the Lightning make him earn the ice-time instead of just giving it to him? Sorry kid. Not every team is like Edmonton.
In terms of pure potential, I'd say great, let's try to get him. But a young winger on the smallish side with apparent entitlement issues ... didn't we just trade one of those?
