Bill Arnold the center between Sven Baertschi and a red hot Emile Poirier, however hasn't produced as much centering the likes of Austin Caroll, Hunter Smith, Bryce Van Brabant, Turner Elson, etc etc.
Know who else saw their production "regress" this year? Ortio and Hathaway, the two players who are up on actual recalls.

Well, Arnold isn't going to get much better at the NHL level. Sure Jooris, Bouma, Ferland, Bollig, etc are NHLers, but those guys face just as good NHLers. You either stand out and be better than your opponents and teammates, or you don't.
