Was he buried in the defensive zone too much like Stajan was with the Flames this past year & like Chiasson was with the Sens?
Was he played too much with the dregs of the team in Stockton as well?

For the last 2 years Arnold seemed to regularly play 3rd-4th line minutes at ES and was very heavily relied upon to play a pure defensive role. When injuries happened other players were used at centre in the top 6. Strangely despite having little offensive time at ES Huska would often put him on the PP. I can't imagine that it would be easy to be successful on the PP when that is the majority of your offensive time. The only way he was used ocrrectly IMO was as the teams top PK guy.
