Pretty happy with him. I think the issue is that since he's European everyone expects him to be an ultra high skill forward. However, he's a solid depth and two-way forward instead.

I think he develops into a solid 50-65 point centre with great 2 way game. The problem is everyone is holding him up to his expectation of 60+ point European dangler. He was also selected with a 24th overall pick, not a top 10. He's been very good value for his draft position so far.
