If he wanted to show he could play well and be counted on as one of the six mainstay defencemen, he had ample opportunity to do so. He didn’t.
I think people are conveniently forgetting how bad he looked by the end. He was getting worse. He needed a change.

So that makes 2 of our last 6 first round draft picks needing to leave Calgary to find some level of success. Another one of them refused to sign here long term. 1 is getting his first taste in the NHL (that’s good), 1 is in the AHL and 1 hasn’t signed here yet.
2 of 6 had to leave.
1 of 6 chose to leave.
1 has played a handful of NHL games.
1 is in the AHL.
1 has yet to sign
This isn’t very good. There’s probably something not right with the organization if players “need a change” or choose to leave.
Something isn’t right.
