True, but he's taken a HUGE step in his maturity.
He went from being a shy, reserved, unfit kid to a guy that has fun at practice and off the ice with his teammates.
In last year's training camp, if you guys can remember, McKelvie would hack and slash Ferland in front of the net and Ferland would retaliate by doing the same thing.
This season in practice, Arsene will cross check him in front of the net and play a little rough with him and after the drill they'll tap eachother on shin bads or pat eachother on the helmet.
I think he truly "gets it" this season.
