He has definitely exceeded my expectations. I also think its a lot of BS that people are saying here they expected this current form from him. Who realistically expects 30 and 30 from a #6 pick with an outstanding all round game?
My expectation was that he'd be a 20-20 guy, and maybe peak at 30-30. I never thought he would turn into what he has this quickly. He is better than Backlund defensively because he is stronger, faster and smarter. His 200 foot game is astounding for a 20 year old, and I don't think anyone realistically could have expected that.
I definitely have a new expectation from him. I basically think he is going to be the next Bergeron, but even more offensive.
