Yes. He's improved his 200 ft game. Still has a lot to learn overall, but he will likely be on Stockton's 1st line instead of in a defensive role next year. He'll likely be ready for a 3rd/4th line role in Calgary after that. The Heat have pretty much played him on the 3rd/4th line all season except a couple game stretch before Grant got hurt when he was on the first line with him and Poirier (and all three came close to scoring multiple times per game)
It's a learning process with a lot of guys. No need to rush players.
