I wished they would have kept him in the AHL his first couple years and let him play there exclusively except for a game or 2 taste of the NHL. He was up and down like a yo-yo. I know many fans were clamoring for him to be up here and play on the first line, but I thought that is asking way to much of the kid. Some guys take longer to mature and reach their potential, and I think it's obvious he is one of those. As you say, he is looking like a long term project. The question is, does this organization have the patience to let him develop, or will they continue to rush him and screw him over, as they have done with so many other youngsters due to lack of depth.
