If memory serves me correctly Pat Steinberg was talking to the coach in Stockton and they got onto the topic of Emile. He said that Emile was having a hard time adjusting his game to the pro level. Basically in junior he could just blow by defenders, but in the pros the defensemen are much faster. He was trying to play his junior game in the pros and it wasn't working.
He's since adjusted his game (with advice from the coaches) and is going to the "greasy" areas now and it's starting to pay off for him.
Guess time will tell.
