Yup, this is my thinking as well. I think Noel should give him a little freedom offensively as I'd hate to see him develop into a pure shutdown kind of guy. By all means keep him on the PK but give him some time with more offensive players. Perhaps stick him out there with Kane and Jokinen for a few shifts and see what happens.
