He seemed a bit more sturdy imo, I think he had trouble with the guys that are 5'10 as their centre of gravity is so much lower so they are able to hit him lower on his body than say someone over 6'. I mean the guy is huge, long legs, I watched him come over the boards at shift change and most guys have a ways to go to reach the ice, not him, he puts his leg over and is touching the damn ice!
I think he will be a better pro than he is junior, just because he will be playing against more players over 6' and he won't be as worried about wrecking some guy's life with a hit. He has a hard time with the size difference imo.
