You have to figure though that he'd get more icetime and situational play in the WHL, and he could do things to develop his game and experiment that he would never get away with in the AHL.<br /><br />That said I imagine the WHL is the place for him. Get his confidence up, his offensive game coming along, and take it slowly like LT said.<br /><br />Horcoff stated that the year in the SEL he did things he'd never think about trying in the NHL, and it did his offensive game a world of good.unihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101528395156137429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-64029203829784472612010-09-23T07:29:10.684-06:002010-09-23T07:29:10.684-06:00He's looked very good, but it is also very ear...He's looked very good, but it is also very early. I'd hope the Oilers would send him to the Hat, let him get comfortable and post some stellar numbers. <br /><br />The fact that he'll play wing most games isn't a huge deal imo. He CAN play center and eventually will move into that slot. <br /><br />The important thing is that he plays at a level where he can have success. He'll get a lot more playing time (my understanding is that college freshman don't get a ton of minutes) and should be able to make a difference. <br /><br />There's no hurry.Lowetidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603698479730018162noreply@blogger.com
