Thats how I'm seeing this as well. But to add, he was initially a Dean Lombardi pick. Sure 4th round but Vancouver seen something in him and gave up a 2nd for him.
It's not like the Canucks went off the board at a draft to take this guy in the 2nd round. They seen something in his development that they figured was worth a 2nd rounder.
He has had a rough year, or I'm guessing his off ice family issues have existed longer than just last year.
If BT agrees that the kid deserves another chance, he clearly sees what his advisors are saying about potential upside.
And if it doesn't work out.. I'm sure he'll play well Stockton.
