At this point I don't see much of a point in being too critical of his development, it's been a weird year for him. He's been in & out of lineups due to injuries and has played on what? 4 different rosters?

Like another poster recently said, Al McInnis started with basically the same numbers in the nhl early on.
The explosion in production at the WJCs and now AHL tells me this is a matter of time issue, not an "if" issue.
I agree with posters who say he should focus first and foremost on being a little more elusive and aware, so that he can play in a way that's sustainable and doesn't get him knocked out for stretches of time.
He should also quarterback the top PP unit PRONTO. I don't care how inexperienced he is. Huska needs to pull his head out of his poo-ha and put the kid where he is destined to play.
