Off topic but #14 Theo would have been able to get up to quicker speed with some more time. He had the hands, the hockey IQ, did lack speed but that would have improved within a few weeks. We had a veteran team that year and plenty of older players. I think he would have been more productive overall than several players. If you look at some of the production of some of these forwards, it's downright pathetic how we were wasting Iggy's prime. I would have taken the chance on a guy who played with passion and had a history of putting the puck in the net with IQ, skills and toughness.
