The rest remains to be seen. He could end up just being a 4th line banger with some PK time, but the fact that he played a signifiant ammount last season with a bad wrist and still had respectable offensive numbers still leaves a glimmer of hope in my mind that he could take that next step up the depth chart. <BR/><BR/>BTW-Tomorrow will there will be a post about a fella that you like, not sure if you'll like it though ;)Bryanbryoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463233578735448147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-37603933143834075222008-10-29T08:42:00.000-10:002008-10-29T08:42:00.000-10:00I am just curious.

Do you feel he is as good defensively and useful on the PK etc... like those two players?<BR/><BR/>If the answer is no (I feel he has not been that strong defensively in the NHL as of yet anyway). Then I would say that might be what keeps him on the 4th line. Rather than a consistent 3rd line guy. I do agree that unless injuries keep plaguing him that he will have an NHL career of some sort. <BR/><BR/>If he does not realize that by early next season I could see that career being elsewhere. I think the Oil have been very patient and have shown a lot of faith in him. But next season is what year 5 for JFJ as a pro hockey player?oilerdiehardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038041202807396071noreply@blogger.com
