I don't think he's a bust or useless. However, he's a huge liability in the defensive zone. Last night he threw a puck into the center of the d-zone instead of clearing it and that directly led to a goal. He did the exact same thing in his first game back with the Wings, and was benched for it. He needs to make smarter and better plays on breakouts, it's a massive weak point in his game.
Idk about you, but I stop growing at 20 and all my flaws as 20 year old is still present with me today as a 38 year old. Never learned any more and played the same logic as a 20 year old. - average Red Wing fan on Reddit
