What are you hoping happens? He plays his way off the 4th line and gets sheltered minutes with Backlund that would be better suited for someone else?

He lives up to his promise that saw him be a point per game player in the AHL in his first two pro seasons and he becomes a dependable middle 6 forward for us.
There is no reason to think he can't be here long term, or just assuming he's going to miss 75% of the games this season.
