I have a feeling he might the real crutch of the Spezza deal, Chiasson is no slouch but he'll likely top out as a third liner and Guptill is a enigma that is best not counted on too much
Then there's the second round pick which will be quite nice
Good chance he spends time in bingo. Skating probably needs work and there isn't any room. Even if he is ready we probably won't fnd out.
Solid summer camp, solid sens camp, solid wjc tryout. Definitely good signs.
I'd definitely give him Bingo time. There's no rush and he has lots to learn in the ahl.
The return in the Spezza deal is just looking better and better.
Good signing. Need him to continue to develop and time in Bingo will be needed. Your allowed 50 contracts per organization.
Making the WJC team though doesn't always make you a good pro. Look at the 2009 tourney in Ottawa. I count 7 skaters not in the NHL from that team and considering those players would be 24-25 so prime NHL years.
