He’s been great.
He had over 14 minutes tonight which is in line with the rest of middle 6 and his season average is 10 minutes. I’m not sure why people complain about his ice time. I want to see more of him too, but people cannot expect him to suddenly play 18 minutes +. TM is gently easing him in and gradually increasing his role, making sure he doesn’t get put into situations he’s not ready for.
Given that’s he’s seemingly improving fast and taking the opportunities being given to him, I’m not sure it can be argued that TM is getting it wrong. Right now you can argue quite easily that TM is handling the gradual growth in his role perfectly. So far it’s been a success story, the same with how he has handled Walker.
Sorry, to point that out but there is plenty else that can be used to satisfy the perpetual need to gripe on here.
