Since you're replying to my post, why is it that you conveniently choose not to address anything on it?
What skill exactly are you talking about? He hasn't shown anything in SoCal and he certainly hasn't shown anything here.
Your argument is that he needs time to learn the system. How many years has he spent in the Ducks organization learning the system and yet still couldn't cement even a 4 line spot on the big club?
Stop acting like this kid is McDavid. It's getting ridiculous..
The funny thing is no one is acting like he is McDavid. I think the problem lies in the fact you're expecting him to be some offensive prowess scoring machine who's a freak of an offensive talent.
We're paying him $800,000. This needs to enter into your assessment of him somewhere.
I think everyone else (most) has rationalized out the fact that him making 800K could potentially be decent value for a guy who should put near a .3ppg mark.
We're not paying him to make a huge difference offensively. We shouldn't expect him to make a huge difference offensively.
