He got plenty of chances in tampa and failed .
Not saying he’ll stick in the NHL, but how is 15 games equals to plenty of chances?

I thought Seattle was already tough to get down to the 23 man roster…. Waiting to see who is on their LTI
How many forwards do they need?
He was fed top line minutes and pp time. He didn't produce at all and other young players steppes up and offer more of they can't score.Not saying he’ll stick in the NHL, but how is 15 games equals to plenty of chances?

The guy is 24 and will need to play top 6 to have a shot. Not sure if you have considered Tampa's top 6 but he can not replace any of tem at this point. ABB is a limited talent he can snip but can not make play by hisself and he is a defensive liability. The only chance he had was to light it up in camp this year, he did not. JBB and the coaching staff held on to him until they had top make the hard choice. Heck they could have traded him in the off season for a pick. SO exactly how did he not have his chances. The fan base has been wanting him to step up for two years. What he did in the Q only moderatly transfered to the AHL and he was just in a stacked system. Now does he make it in Seattle? He might if they can put him with a talented center in the top6 otherwise he will flame out in the bottom 6. There is a chance but its slight.Giving up on prospects after 15 NHL games is piss poor asset management. You can't see full potential when they have that little exposure to the NHL.
He was given 15 games of top 6 playing time and pp time. He did not produce tampa needed to fill their bottom 6. He can't play bottom 6 and is not better than anyone on their top 6. Tampa is trying to 3peat not please an underperformed prospect.The guy is 24 and will need to play top 6 to have a shot.

You said it in a lot few words than I did I agree.He was given 15 games of top 6 playing time and pp time. He did not produce tampa needed to fill their bottom 6. He can't play bottom 6 and is not better than anyone on their top 6. Tampa is trying to 3peat not please an underperformed prospect.
He's not a defensive liability. Looked very responsible whenever I've seen him and the underlying stats from his NHL time back that up.
Joke post?As a long time Kraken fan I think this was a good move.
What was the waiver order? Seattle first?

Read his post again I thinkThis isn't baseball! Try watching games, dudes a pylon defensively. Didn't look dangerous offensively either.
