People were saying the same things about Hoffman a year ago.
Got lots of these laugh:) when I suggested Hoffman was a better player than Conacher during the 2013-14 training camp.
There isn't a single timeline for player development, specially when a young player misses time through injury.
Cowen needs time, the Sens will likely show patience with him, unless one of the younger guys passes him which isn't likely in the near term.
Wait. Isn't it what people been saying about Conacher too? Why didn't we give Conacher a couple more years after that impressive rookie season when he was considered for Calder?
