Everything done with tons of space.

Look at how many of these highlights had him as the finisher just off the edge of the crease. Garbage man.

Much of the same. Finishing off the work of someone else at the edge of the crease and then a wide sweeping move to score the 2nd goal.

Just found this one. Some good stuff from the scouts, but they mention the same concern I have about his skating. The one guy seems to think it is something that can be fixed, which is a positive.
I guess it would be easy to take what is said by the likes of Craig Button, Bob MacKenizie and Pierre Maguire as gospel, but I'm a lot more skeptical of these snake oil salesmen after years of listening to them pontificate in favor of certain players only to watch them bust hard. I think that its better to discuss these things and get an idea of where people are coming from on these kids. These are the observations I have and the consistencies I see in the very limited film I have seen on him. I am readily admitting that. I am asking people that have seen him a lot to comment on whether these observations are problematic or could hold him back. If he is a long term project because of these issues I would prefer we stay away from him.
I loved this video too. It's kind of exactly what Ken King talks about when he takes shots at guys in their underwear living in their parent's basement. Really hammers home the point that a lot of the information out there may not be as trustworthy as some like to think.
