I think anyone who has seen him play in hockey knows that he has reached a point where he has rendered a regular NHL player useless.
Ville does not deserve a guaranteed spot in the lineup. He deserves a chance to play a series of games to show that he can do it.
At some point, you're going to have to make that decision because the asset (Heinola) is going to stagnate and start going backwards. That's what's going to happen. I don't think he's backing down yet, but there's definitely frustration building, and that's never a good sign.
