I’m surprised they brought him back when he didn’t seem like a good fit in Carolina before, but I’m glad he’s getting another chance.
I think what happened to him is that he’s the type of player who needs to play in the top 6 to be effective, but he’s not good enough to make the top 6 on a good team and he couldn’t adjust his game to a bottom-6 role. It’s a 2-way contract, so I suspect he’s earmarked for the AHL, and maybe he’ll get called up as an injury replacement.
