2011
Drafted from USHL at 5'6" 145lbs.
"What a waste of a 4th round pick, will never be able to hold his own against grown men in college hockey."
2012
Puts up PPG numbers as a freshmen.
"Okay, but getting ONLY a point per game in the NCAA isn't that great, and he's still too small."
2013
Puts up 1.46 PPG as a sophomore.
"Yeah that's pretty good, but NCAA is vastly inferior to the CHL, he won't be able to hold his own against the top CHL players."
World Juniors 2013
5th in tournament scoring, tops on his gold medal winning team.
2014
Dominates college hockey, winning the Hobey Baker with 2.0 PPG.
"Okay but we'll see how he gets man-handled by full grown, legit NHL players."
WHC 2014
10 points in 8 games, 2nd on his team only to Seth Jones and ahead of every single Canadian, as well as other notable NHLers such as Mikael Backlund, Justin Abdelkader, Tomas Hertl, Jaromir Jagr, Tomas Tatar, etc.
Seems like so far he's made a career out of proving people wrong.
