Love watching the guy handle the puck, pretty clear he's got a vet's IQ for the game. Every time I see him in a race for the puck though, he seems to lose. Probably just me being stereotypical, but I expected a high scoring European forward to be a lot faster. He's got kind of a choppy skating style.
Love to see what he'd look like next year with a whole off-season of conditioning (and being free of this blood clot issue), you can definitely see the potential. But like a lot of you, I'm getting the feeling he won't be wearing Flames colours next season if it keeps going like this.
