Agreed. Bust, hell no. Given the oppurtunity to succeed, who knows. If he can step in and contribute solidly as a nickel back, and its not unheard of to come in and contribute solidly right off the bat, (see Chris Horton) so I am interested to see what he brings to the skins in nickel and dime situations.
(Ive actually secretly thought that Horton got really lucky that breakout season and totally inflated his expectations, which was bad for both him and the team. Ive just never thought he was as good as people think he is. I dunno, I just think some ppl are being fickle.)
