Not worried about expectations. He needs to work on a lot clearly, and doesn't have very many assists yet, and is not as involved in the play as much as you'd like. But, he's 19.
The fact that he has a nose for the net as a natural goal scorer, and seems an intelligent, patient player, is something at that age is rarer than most teams would like for their rookies, as it's pretty tough to teach those two instincts.
