Maybe he just doesn't love Kerins play? To assume anti youth or anti prospect just doesn't fit with the body of work.
Having said that I hope the NHL market heats up enough that they can start making more moves like the Kirkland/Kerins/Morton move. Free up some spots.
Guessing we see Kerins again before Xmas.

To the bolded, I think it’s possible the braintrust of the organization don’t see an NHLer in Kerins. Quad A guy maybe in their minds. Perhaps he hasn’t worked as hard on his skating and/or in the gym as they expect?
I like Kerins and think he should have got more of a chance but he might just be what he is and will never be a full time NHL player.
