He has been a disappointment apparently. He is nothing spectacular, and a little inconsistent in his intensity. Of course, this could be because of our expectations (I think it was that that he'd be able to step straight from the WHL into a top 6 role with the Heat at 20 years old).
Man, do I feel spoiled cheering for a team with the luxury of letting this guy develop right.
