I politely disagree.
27 minor penalties, disappearing for long stretches at a time, -12 on the season.
This is no Backlund in the making here where he's doing all the little things right and its just a matter of time before he puts it all together... he doesn't use his line mates well, he's lazy, and he's undisciplined, doesn't drive the front of the net.
His ceiling is through the roof, sure, but he's not playing an NHL game today. He's falling off a cliff and will finish with a much worse year counting wise than his rookie season. GG kept him at 12 minutes last game. He needs to be the #1C on the AHL, he's not becoming the franchises best pick in its history by playing 3rd line minutes with a mixed bag of line mates.
That's how I see it anyway.
