Great to see one of my favourite prospects getting a real chance now. I've followed this guy for 4 years now, from Belleville, to Erie, to Utica. It's a good feeling to finally see one of our guys make the big show. He's done everything they asked of him and he deserves it.
Can't tell you how frustrating it is watching these guys for 4 or 5 years rooting them on, only to have them traded before being given a real chance to succeed. It seems like that's been the theme with this club over the last little while. Grabner, Schroeder, Jensen, Shinkaruk all traded before being given a real opportunity here. And we wonder why we never have any good young players coming up...
