It ain’t because of linemates in Kitchener. If he is in the top 2 lines he has talent to play with. He needs to pick up his game forsure. Some positive signs the last 3 games. Fingers crossed for keeping that up and continuing to improve.
That's just it.. when he was in Kometa playing 8 minutes a night against men I kept saying 'wait till he gets in a position to succeed'.
Goes to OHL... meh numbers. I say 'Barrie is weak and missing their best player, wait till the Jrs and watch him feedling Kulich!'
Goes to World Juniors and played very well but didn't look like a first round ice tilter. Gets traded... oh wow, Kitchener is stacked... this will be great!
Goes to Kitchener.. meh.
The only thing I can think of is injury and battling through it. At some point, he really needs to start putting up points and a lot more of them. I think he'll be in OHL again next season at this pace.
