Like I said, I don’t expect him to be a shutdown guy, but there’s a level you have to be at as far as being responsible goes, and he has a ways yet. Ask Jeremie Poirier. Plus, he was one of the few guys who looked truly lost in camp.
Please don’t take this post as me being snippy, context is hard to get across in writing lol.
