i'm not writting his career off yet, i actually like the pick, but if he is one of the 12 best performing forwards in our organization in a month and a half, we are in trouble.

Yeah agreed. He definitely shouldn't be playing in the NHL right now. I'm sure there's other options. We need one more to fill our top 6 right now whether that's Sykora, or a trade eventually. Matteau should not be an option right now. I'd rather see Butler fill that role. I like the pick more than most, but there's no need to bring him to the NHL right now. We really don't need him right now, and shouldn't use him yet I don't think.
