I agree that it may be best for him in the AHL.

let him marinate for a while...hopefully he can perform well get confidence and come back more ready...don't like the idea of him getting use to playing a couple mins in a 4th line role and not producing

He's shown lots of promise. His problem, like Tedendy is that he's having a hard time trying to find a place to fit in with all the scoring lines filled up.

I don't think Josefson is capable of handling a scoreline role at this point in his career. I'm fine with him playing on the 4th line - he makes that line not a black hole, plus he kills penalties - he should be getting 10-11 minutes a game.

If Josefson's smarts were the issue, I'd say this is a problem that he's up here, but he's clearly playing at an NHL level.

I think Josefson could play on our 3rd line now and would fit into the scoring lines a few NHL teams. He's not exactly strong on the puck but he has the skills to keep up with 2 solid wingers at his sides.

The Devils simply don't have room to let non-physical/smaller forwards flourish. We have superstar forwards on our team. No room for Josefson (or Teddy) to develop his game.
