Or did you think he was drafted and got a call up because of his hockey skills?
You are right. I've amended my post.

Yeah it seems his skill level isn't high enough to stay in the league, so he needs to bring a physical edge. That's the playstyle he's developed as he chases a fulltime role on an NHL club. But my central point is it's his choice - he isn't being forced. Therefore he will live with the consequences.

Which part is not his choice?
