Pretty clear Jets have zero faith in O'Dell. Hopefully he can move on from the Jets after this season to find a real chance to play meaningful minutes. Sigh. Guess rewarding career minor leaguer Albert is more important than giving a real prospect in O'Dell a chance.
I don't get why career minor leaguer is only attached to Albert in this comparison.
I love O'Dell when he has the puck on his stick within 20 feet of the goal, which rarely happens, but otherwise he looks to be as much of a career minor leaguer as anyone to this point. I don't think you can blame lack of opportunity, O'Dell didn't really take the opportunity he had to give the Jets a tough decision to make. If he did, would Setoguchi still be here?
But really, the reward here is a NHL paystub and a seat in the press box. If there are more injuries and someone is needed to actually play, then we'll see where the faith lies.
