I think he physically outmatched his college opposition & I wonder if he could be convinced to turn pro next year to hone his game in the AHL?

Just based on this one viewing I'd compare him to Glenncross (when Glenny is interested in playing solid 2-way hockey) with slightly better vision/IQ, though I don't know if he has as accurate & fast shot. Definitely a good 2nd liner in the next couple of years.
Interesting read on him. I mentioned previously that I compared him to Max Reinhart because he's a bit of a "do all" player with a tireless work ethic. Do you get the same feeling?

Definitely think he's ready for a bottom 6 or 2nd line role with whatever the new AHL team is. I'd honestly love to see him, Arnold, and Reinhart on a line in the NHL some day...tenacity and forechecking beyond belief
