It's not that I don't like him, I just think this might be a misplaced bet on his potential.

You bet on potential for these kinds of players 10 times out of 10. Matthew Tkachuk is Exhibit A of what can happen if you don't. He wasn't a PPG when we bridged him either. Jason Robertson is another cautionary tale of what happens when you don't. J. Hughes, B. Tkachuk, A. Svechnikov, Beniers, now Raymond...these are all contracts that are going to age well long term.
