He certainly has been.
I know Emp liked his 3 assist game but he was awful in his own zone that game.
I do wonder if Wilson busting his jaw has had an effect mentally on him.
It were me, i would give A. Johnson a shot if need be. Let ZAR work out whatever he has to in the A.
ZAR is just a massive who the f*** knows for me.
- Strong start to his AHL career but iirc someone said that college players a fresher when they come in at the end of the season and it gives them an edge.
- I think something mentioned he hurt his wrist? (yeah, there might be a trend here)
- Weak 1st preseason and rookie scrimmage thing.
- Slow start to his AHL season
- But wait, his wisdom teeth! Never mind that a 23 year old should be able to promptly take himself to a dentist if he’s in pain or tell a trainer.
- Starts producing well in the AHL
- Meh first nhl game's
- Scores goals with Crosby
- Gets hurt
- Meh in a 4th line role
- Bad playoffs on L4
- Gets hurt
- Compromised off season
- Weak preseason but apparently the org/Yohe thought it was good.
That accounts for 16 RS games, 9 PO games and however many preseason games he’s played. Probably ~30 in total so it’s still a small sample size. Maybe it’s all about playing with talent or not getting hurt, or maybe he had a random good streak never to be seen again. idk.
