This is the right decision, even if it's 2 games early. No point in keep letting him keep struggling and have his confidence hurt even more. He can still work on a lot of different things down there.
I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did but that might be for the best in the long haul.

I don't think he's nearly as good on the wing as he is at C but at least these 7 games should give him a good idea of what it takes to play well in the NHL.

All eyes are on John Gibson in Anaheim as he’s set to return from an appendectomy. Carolina was close to trading for the goalie in the off-season but the deal fell through. With Colorado, Detroit and Pittsburgh all having early issues in net, look for the Gibson market to heat up. He has two more years at $6.4 million (U.S.) on his deal, and it sounds like Ducks GM Pat Verbeek is willing to eat significant money on the contract providing he gets a top asset in return.
