He's most certainly not yet a bust. But even the success of his rookie season was a bit of a smokescreen. The goals came in bunches and there were a lot of games he didn't do much. And other games with great flashes.
He really could have used some time in the AHL prior to this point so that maybe we'd see more confidence. Now I'm not sure what to do. If this were another team we'd be laughing at how he has been developed to date.
