...or bad.
I liked what I saw from him in the WJC. He was all around the net and had excellent vision, which helped greatly in his passing game.
However, I thought he was one of the weaker guys on the ice. I know he's still quite young yet, but boy was he scrawny.
As Metro Gnome said, he was weak along the boards and in the corners.
I hope with greater size comes greater confidence in board battles against larger defencemen. It just makes me think that a couple of years in the CHL (preferably the OHL or WHL) wouldn't be so awful for his development.
