Or maybe, just maybe, he wasn't even close to being ready for the role he was asked to play this year?
Exactly, guy was asked to make a massive step forward in tough DZS and then gets relegated to playing with 4th line plugs, mainly because they have no other options.
I also wouldn't call sending down a struggling 22 year old, 2nd year pro "sending a message". To who? Ehlers? Copp? What's the message? Young guys better play well while older, higher paid one's get a pass? Send a message to the veteran stiffs who need one, Stuart, Ladd, and Pavelec if he was still around for good measure.
