Where is the mismanagement or lack of attention?

I did have some questions around how he never seemed to get off the 4th line last year, especially with the lack of young center prospects in the org.
But think there were some concerns around his fitness and his defensive play from the organization last year.
I will give the Wranglers organization a lot of leeway though on this - with some of the mid-round prospects they have really worked them into the lineup cautiously and tried to "build them up" over time, and sounds like the organization gives them very clear direction on where and what they need to improve on.
And think we've seen guys like Stromgren and Kerins advance in their development because of that.
