I think a rebuilding team should look for upside, and I just don’t see any here.
Draft pedigree isn’t much of a crutch to lean on in a guy’s D+8 season, when he hasn’t been able to deliver those goods at any level above the USHL.
I had no problem with the waiver claim, I think filling this roster spot with a reclamation project is exactly what the team should be doing.
But based on what I’ve seen of this player, I think the team should offer him a firm handshake at the end of the season, maybe a framed jersey or something, and move on.
