He’s been giving chance after chance with the Kings… and each time has failed to take the step from great AHL player to bona fide NHL player.
I hope he finds his game in Tampa… certainly playing with Vinny and Malone will help his cause. But just because he succeeds in Tampa doesn’t necessarily mean he would have thrived in LA.
