I personally thought at the beginning of the season that Alzner would be an improved version of Emelin. It appears it was not the case. It was a tough season for everyone. I am hoping he bounce back next season. There is a business side of things to everything. Putting Pax in the pressbox would not have been good for this team either. The best thing that can happen is that he bounce back this season and we maximize his return at the deadline or find a suitable partner to acquire an extra 1st round pick.
I am not ready to throw julien under the buss just yet.
