I'm also not as excited as you guys about his potential. He did get pushed around a lot last night. The dude is tiny. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I'm as excited as the next guy about this kid's future, will he get knocked around? Yes a bit I'm sure, he definitely needs to bulk up, but the kid is only 20, how skinny are most guys at that age. Being an athlete or not, your body is burning the calories as fast as you can put them in. But by the age 22-23 when he has filled out more he could be a big producer at the NHL level imo.
In the meantime, although he may have gotten pushed around a bit, he still managed 3 points and almost had a couple more which could have won the game for BC. 2pts per game this year in one of the toughest leagues in the world(for this age group), good enough for me at this point.
