I'm thinking, maybe just junior. The AHL is no pushover league for featherweights. This is where the less disciplined goons and bit players make a living

No idea what clip you're referring to but it is not an indication of where he actually is.
I have seen him live in practice in the last week and he is definitely bigger than he was in training camp. He looks very average sized, relative to the rest of the team - very middle-of-the-pack.
In fact, I was watching him and Glencross get bag-skated together and the thing that struck me was that he looked pretty much exactly the same size as Glencross, and had just about exactly the same amount of power and speed on the first stride from standing still.
It was like watching twins
