If you don't know what's going on, why jump to such an extreme conclusion?
I hadn’t seen the picture of the sling. I scanned the last few pages and didn’t see an update clearly. So I found it suspicious that he’s been hurt then played then hurt again but it would have made some impact for a longer time. Clearly

Pretty obvious he isn’t hurt. There’s no updates no mention.

My bet is he’s demanded a trade bc of all the hate he took. Wants a fresh start.

Sens mgmt realize this coming out ruins his value. So they just shut him down to not further destroy his value.

Too bad. I’ve been a fan of his.
What,
his arm was in a sling a week or so ago, and posted on here.

Hmm, I'll take that bet.

Is he even an AHL player at this point?
Not really.

He’s an ECHL/AHL tweener.

Incredibly bad pick, and has had incredibly bad injury luck. Recipe for disaster.

I thought he was a guaranteed NHLer, because he was basically a 4th liner max. Just skate and hit. Hard to not live up to those type of draft expectations (which were definitely initially inflated because of where he was drafted). He still may, but it’s going to be a slow burn.

His lack of production in the NCAA and CHL is nearly unheard of for a 1st round prospect, let alone 10th. He’d have likely been ~ppg in his 19 year old season. Finished his CHL tenure, all post draft, at 31 points in 48 games.

Why is he not even good at skating and hitting in the AHL?

Ive seen him with other real NHL prospects over the years, and though he didn't deserve to be drafted that high and clearly lacked skill, he could skate with them, hit with anyone, and had weight on his shot.

How can he not even translate that into a 3rd line checking role?

Has he lost a step? Has he stopped hitting? What's going on?

Nothings going on, it’s just the reality of the situation. He’s not a very good pro hockey player, or bring anything more than hitting. He’s not good offensively, or defensively, and he’s not a guy like Rempe who will just toss knucks.

We went for an archetype, very foolishly, and it failed.
