What's our sense of the things he's better off working on in college? I don't watch his games, but the sense I've always had was that he's a hardworking, versatile defensive forward. I don't know that were waiting for more skill to blossom.
Could he be held back more as a product of the organization being full than developing a particular aspect of his game? Or, option 3, is he just not equipped to handle ahl level competition?
He's a pretty good playmaker actually. I don't think he'll be a scoring line player but offense is something he can continue to work on at Michigan. Another season there will also give him a lot of opportunity to add strength with the ability to train during the week. I don't really see the point in having him in the AHL rather than the NCAA. Given that he had a down year it makes a lot of sense for him to try and progress at that level before worrying about the next.
