What exactly are you going to take from his game against Denmark? This was the toughest game of the pre round robbin stage, and Jake had a poor game if you want to go easy on him. Having said that he had a great game before against Sweden.
You say re-examine expectations, but have not had a pick that high since the Sedins, you needed to hit that pick out of the park. Everyone talks about rebuild on the fly. The 6th overall pick in that draft class was your golden ticket. Hey if he doesn't turn out we will have a few more so we can thank him for that.
I'm not saying give up on him, in fact I think he will turn into a serviceable player, AFTER he spends next year and the year after in the AHL.
What's irritating, is that you have guys like Brendan Gaunce and Hunter Shinkrauk, who have put in the time in the minors, struggled, only to succeed, and then you have Jake who has been gifted a spot on the team, because management needs to sell tickets.
