The focus should be on getting him going, not on running him out of town. And getting him going means simplifying his responsibilities, and putting him in positions to succeed (i.e. good line-mates). And then giving it time to happen.
And no, he hasn't had more than enough time already. I mean, he's had time, but the focus has been too much on the 200 foot game and learning the C position. He needs to be let loose, told to just have fun, and given enough time to let it happen.
He has only had 3 games on the wing and there is already significant improvement. No, he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet yet, but with any luck at all he would have. And he has been more physical, more energetic, and more engaged.
It will come. And I think it's coming soon.

I think it's been 5 games, no? Ever since Jankowski got called up.
Not that the difference between 3 and 5 games really changes your point anyway.
