"Basically he didn’t play last year. Every day he’s showing more and more. His mind thinks really fast. Right now, I’m very happy to see a player we drafted first do that well, to improve so fast. I thought he’d have a bit of a hard time since he didn’t play much last year so that says a lot about him."

Great to hear from The Coach

But it still doesn’t change my mind—I think he’s going back to the major juniors for another year.

Oh, that goes without saying MT

Brett needs work. Yzerman is not going to allow him to be rushed to the NHL. He’ll stick around through our dates in the west and then be sent back to Prince George after.

…there are an unbelievable number of folks calling for him to be on a Stamkos-Lecavalier line. Aside from the problem of two centers on the same line, those folks discount the amount of growth a 18 year-old needs before he’s NHL ready.
