He's been THAT bad.  The guy has literally been useless over a full season and shows no signs of developing into an NHLer.  He's too soft for bottom six and his stat line speaks for itself regarding what happens when he''s gifted unearned top 6 minutes.  There is absolutely ZERO excuse for this plug to get even one NHL game next year.  Even in an emergency situation, playing Megna is completely unacceptable.

The thing that grinds my gears is that WD stapled Virtanen to the bench. If he gave JV even half on the opportunity he gives his little Megna we'd have a completely different JV right now.

It's almost like he's an AHL caliber player playing on a call up... Like WTH is with that... I had him pegged to contend for the scoring race but idk what happened

If we let Willie go though, then it's fine. Any coach with sense will tell Benning that he's not playing useless plugs and ask Benning to leave Megna in Utica.

Fixed.

Problem is that he's had way too many opportunities and has proven that he's uttely useless.  Why waste more time on playing a guy who has no hope of developing into an NHLer?

Not positive but pretty sure that this is just because of the expansion draft. He is now eligible to be exposed because he's played the amount of required games. Might be a smart move, can always waive him next year and bury his little bit of cap. Added depth as well....

Couldn't agree more, with Willie there's always been two types of player ones he likes: which means playing more than deserved, and ones he doesn't like ie jake, every little mistake is worth benching
