It's really hard to fit him in given the current roster construction. I'd argue you can only have so many small guys and so many soft guys.
Gaudreau - tiny and soft
Mangiapane - small
Monahan - fairly soft
Backlund - fairly soft
Jankowski - soft like Siberian Forest Cat
Ryan - smallish
Czarnik - tiny and soft
I dunno. If the team somehow gets a little bigger, stronger and more physical then Czarnik suddenly becomes a better option. If Gaudreau is ever moved then Czarnik would get a real shot IMO. As it stands I think you keep him in the AHL because another soft, small forward isn't going to be a difference maker with the current roster construction.
