Wrote about his growth as a player since development camp last summer to his exit interview a few days ago and how he plans on being ready for next season with the Jets but won't see the Moose as a "step backwards" if that is where he ends up.
Despite the natural youthful desire to make the jump to the NHL immediately he understands that to achieve his goals there are things to learn along the way “Before it was always I’m ready, I want to play now, I’m ready now and I’m blinded by that and that is all I’m going to settle for, and now that I understand it is a process and it takes time and you've got to grow into being ready. That sending you down, it's not always about you not being ready but we are going to send you down to learn things so that when you do come up you are better for us and that is what going back to junior was for me and that’s what it’s going to be if I don’t make the team out of training camp next year.”

He is going to be a very interesting player to watch during camp in September. As always thoughts/comments are welcome.
