It's possible and might be good for the kid. He is playing well but struggling to put the puck in the net.
At the beginning of the year I would have said no way, but now it looks like a definite possibility, assuming we have the extra healthy bodies to replace him for the 7(?) games he'd miss.
Personally, I think 8-10 minutes in the NHL is more valuable at this point in his career than the WJC for Lazar.
I listened to pierre mcguire's take on tuesday and frankly I think he should go because it will put some cool scoring confidence in him... Or at least it should
At least he'll score some goals. He hasn't scored in 6 months. Probably forgot how it feels already.
