Another team not in win now mode grabs him and cameos him for 10-20 games, they lose nothing at all.
Would be a real shame to lose a player like that in a rebuild before you know what you have and run with such a veteran heavy top 9. Hopefully they can fit him in and bump somebody like Duehr or Rooney instead

Yep, he's a former 1st round pick who put up almost ppg numbers in the AHL over 100+ games. Last year might have derailed his development, but I'm sure there are other teams willing to take a gamble on potential when it costs nothing but money and a roster spot.
