I'm one of those fans that much prefers young players getting ice time on the 3rd pairing or 4th line over vets but in this case I have no issues with him sitting. IMO he's been a major disappointment and the only thing he has going for him right now is his age and possibility to improve. He has the odd brief moment where you see a flash but it's surrounded by a lot of mistakes and poor play. It's really a shame he has to go through waivers as he badly needs to play in the AHL for a full season or more.
