He didn't really make the championship squad though. He was there for 18 games in what appeared to be a dispute between management and the coaching staff.Eh, maybe...but he did make the championship squad as an 18 year old...I can't imagine he's going to toil about in the minors for very long...but, yet again, who knows...
If I was a betting man - which I am - nothing negative comes about from the situation and he goes on to have a nice career...
We will see how it plays out, but I'm sure the Pens wish they sent him down prior to 10 last year and never activated his ELC.
