He earned the opportunity to start with the team, after that amazing pre-season performance. But the sooner they get him to the Wranglers, where he can work on his game, build his confidence, and learn how to be a pro, the better.

He's getting chances, which isn't common for the guy that is under water.
He's 4th on the team for expected individual goals behind Kadri, Coleman and Huberdeau. He's 6th in individual high danger chances.
That matches the eye test for me.
He could wither and end up with the Wranglers, in fact I think he will, but not yet. Belongs.
