Not that I disagree with what you are saying, but I can see why some are applying that brush to him. Expectations are/were pretty high on him. In the same light, Nail Yakupov was labeled a bust at the same age. I guess the thing to consider is if you don't want to be labeled a bust, produce more than 1 goal and 4 points in 24 games, and look lost on most occasions. I'm hoping for a turnaround in the next 2/3 of the season, as that was one of things I called at the start of the year. The Flames need him to step up and become a player. If he doesn't, he'll likely get the Curtis Lazar treatment in the future.
