The list of players who've lit up the A and never sniffed an NHL career is long.
I'm not against giving the guy a shot but the odds are still stacked against him to have a meaningful NHL career. Swapping him in for Lucic on the 4th line is also not the way to set him up for success.
I think he'll get a shot at some point this season and I hope he'll make an impact, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
