Then what was the excuse in Buffalo and Chicago? I think it's far more likely that he's just a draft pick that hasn't worked out.
Buffalo and Chicago are very diffferent circumstances.
In Chicago he was able to stick with the team, though he got low minutes partly because they still had a pile of veterans on the team. His 26 points in 65 games isn’t exactly bad for a player who had only 19 games of NHL experience (spanning across 3 seasons with Sabres) prior to that season and had essentially only ever played bottom 6 roles on arguably two of the league’s worst teams.
In Buffalo, no one could actually make a legitimate case that they ever gave him a real chance.
He’s not Willy. Clearly. Not even close. But there still could be a player there.
