History
He is history here. And looking at the thread, i hold out the possibility that:
He forced top many drives/shots and got himself in trouble
He didn't feel forced or wasn't forced to carry the team. Cattoor and others would likely beg to disagree and ask for the ball in certain games.. of course none if us are in his head to know he felt.
Filling the image of young’s type of pg at the time: murphy, pedulla, rechsteiner… it did appear he (a) could play obviously at the p4 level and (b) struggled with forced play at the p4 level
He is doing well and deserves praise for his growth from where he was then to now
We could have used his veteran leadership and scoring now.
There are lots of points in the thread and posts last year that are not mutually exclusive and can be true at the same time

And we didn't want Pedulla anymore???....ooooof**

Would've been the best player on this year's team by a wide margin.
