When we did give him a breather, it was around the time he was getting frustrated and there were reports he was mouthing off in the dressing room about leaving.Thing I wasn't a fan of was him being forced to play with a broken hand because it was for the good of the team, in his rookie year the only good he needs to think about is for himself, I can understand in 3 years he is experienced and he can suck it up, but expecting him to do it in his first season was really poor from the club imo. The injury might only be minor but it's his first year he should have played a handful of games for a taste then dropped down a grade come back up for a few more just to ease him into it.
That is when the extended break was required. We actually won that week and there was no need to rush him back in.
