That’s more like the ultimate promotion.

Depends on the money.

Thats not a demotion though, that usually just means you don't want to travel for scouting anymore and they don't want to lose you

Just like when yzerman went to senior advisor for 1 year and then went to the redwings to be GM

How do you score 12 and 13 goals in your first two pro seasons and be "horrible"? Todd, come on.

Also, Al Murray never left? I have no idea where you got that from.

Not not killing it in the AHL not even cracking 20 goals that means in the NHL he will probably crack 6-8 goals a year if he is only hitting 12-13 in the minors

To be fair he played the first 15 or so games on the 3rd/4th line when returning from his injury and was roughly a ppg after that having 28 points in his next 34 games. Having said that I don't think he is going to be an NHLer as he is constantly injured and his ceiling is too low. There are other prospects to look forward to though.

Right, he wanted to be there a year to help Julien into the role? Nothing about that is outlandish... it really isn't uncommon to have some tenure in scouting and wanting to dial back the travel, because really, the amount of travel is a little crazy.

I'm not saying he is going to be a stud, but generally guys with abbreviated minor seasons like this and still producing the way he did is a good sign.

JBB seeing Al Murray at Epcot's World Showcase, after he said he didn't want to travel so much anymore.
