Biggest thing for me is he's shown he can skate a regular shift and not look out of place. Playing smart away from the puck, doing little things right, etc. Sure there are mistakes but he does not look out of his element at all. So when that inevitable drop in production occurs he can still be a contributor to the team in other ways.
Was pretty firmly in the "send him back down" camp until recently but I think he's earned a permanent spot on the team.
