Hardly a disappointment. Development isn't always linear, and plenty of prospects have been sent back to Junior after spending time in the AHL. I remember a kid named Ferland who had a lot of fitness and off-ice issues getting sent back, and a lot of people gave up on him as a lost cause. A season later, he gets a late call-up and turned into Ferkland, running guys over and being a fan favourite.
Way too early to be down on Basha, especially since he is probably trying to play catch-up after having almost an entire season lost to injury. Plenty of time for this kid.
