Maybe... MAYBE... the 4 game stint down in Bakersfield was enough for JP? Likely not, but we don't know and won't know for sure till we see the next few games from him. But like before, his deployment will likely have a lot to do with his successes.
Didn't watch any of the games but did see highlights and he seemed more engaged and "with it" so to speak. Now obviously they're called "highlights" for a reason hahaha. The JP that was drafted by the Oilers is, by all accounts, the type of player Hitch likes.
My guess would be a large part of his recall would be in part due to Hitch telling Chia they need not only wing depth but a player that can keep with Conner or Nuge, given the opportunity. Chia perhaps explored trade routes but came up dry, so the next best thing, look internal and see what Hitch can get out of JP. Woodcroft seemed to have been able to spark the kid. (And yes, I realize Woodcroft was up here with JP prior to this season however under the tutelage of The Todd.)
All I ask, JP on the left flank on whichever PP unit. Would love him on the 1st unit with Conner saucin' the puck over but we'll see what Hitch has in store for him.
