Not sure why it didn't come together for him. Great beard too.

Yeah I thought he'd be a serviceable NHLer too, and really he probably could have been.
I feel like sometimes for a European guy that's not drafted high unless you're a top 4 guy right away that it's tough. Because you're risking being sent down and have to make less money in the AHL to hopefully get that shot, instead of making decent money to play closer to home in the KHL.
