IMO think he is and giving up now would be a mistake. He needs some big time work on his breakaway strategy. He gets too close to the goalie and is too small and short to deek around pads like Colborne can. IMO he needs to get shots away sooner and start going over gloves and blockers at a distance that negates his tiny wingspan. Maybe a summer of focusing on that aspect will change his point totals. Otherwise I love his compete level and speed, size be damned.
