An AHL contract seems like it would be appropriate?Cataracts shutout and his latest cold snap reaches 5 games. He seems to produce in clusters. Since he was a MHL player when drafted, I wonder if they can continue to slow cook him in the KHL next year. Love his personality, torn over whether he warrants a contract after this season considering just how horrible Shawinagin is this year but being only mildly good as a over-ager raises some questions.
Maybe they should hire him to be their KHL PR guy.

From what I've seen of him, his demeanor/personality - there's a lot to like. From an organizational standpoint however he's Karabacekesque. I hope he proves me wrong.
Don't waste a contract spot on someone who is not NHL material prospect please. Kids character is great but you also need to have the skills.
I can't fathom any reason at all not to give a give it all you've got kid like this a shot in Rochester. If anything his work ethic and drive to someday make the NHL despite lacking in the skill and size department should be good for our more skilled prospects there. And if he just isn't good enough... so what? Nothing wasted at all.
Yeah, agreed. And if he blows the ceiling off the AHL, he can still earn an ELC.That's why ATO now, not an ELC. If they keep some flexibility, they might be able to land UDFA once teams are eliminated, be they NCAA, CHL, or in Europe.
