Yeah. At the draft and subsequnt seasons he needed work on his skating. Then he suffered a setious ankle injury that required surgery and a large chunk of rehab. Combine mediocre skating with a rehabbed ankle its not rocket science as to why he fell off a cliff.
Perhaps he signs an AHL deal and gets to a normal skating pace. Not expecting much though. Too bad as the rest of the package is/was 1st round skill.
