He was, as you've mentioned, in Ftoreks dog house. But... with him gone I think we will see Aaron presented with the opportunities he wan't given last year. Aaron is a devoted team player and will sweat blood for someone he respects. I've seen him play since the little leagues. He has fire!
And to respond to the comments, "JAG (just a guy), completely non-descript winger that every organization has a number of. He'll probably be a career minor leaguer, maybe an NHL fourth line journeyman"...
... non-decript?? You obviously aren't too familiar with his play. Especially if you only know him for the few minutes a game Robbie would play him on most nights. A guy you hate to play against but would give anything to have on your team. No, he may not be 'the next one' or anything but he's character, defined. An attribute, along with his talents, every team wants.
Good luck in camp!!
