However, his increased willingness to throw his weight around is a step in the right direction and his puck protection skills and driving to the net are some of the best in the OHL. Habing a hard time coming up with a comparable, but a poor man's Rick Nash with a little Smyth thrown in there isn't too far off the mark. Great hand-eye in front of the net (think smyth or Langkow in that regard) and is turning into a very solid penalty killer. If he develops a little more explosiveness he'd could turn into a a star player...
Thanks for the report. How is his skating, is it hampering the explosiveness that you write about?
