I think Sean is a touch overrated if anything. A lot of his points come from jiri and Johnny working magic. He got awesome beneficial starts in his rookie season. I'm worried we will pay him like a elite 1st line centre and he will turn out to be a 2nd line guy. I hope I'm wrong but I think he is exciting but doesn't have the elite ceiling like Johnny or Sam. He doesn't create on his own. He isn't physical. His skating is average. He drives the net very very well has a good release and keeps his stick on the ice. Good face offs for his age and also responsible defensively. The next toews? That's unfair to both parties to compare the 2.
Imho if Sean played on a line without jiri and Johnny who are two of the most creative passers in the nhl. They also have some of the best vision in the nhl. I like Sean but I think he will settle into a smaller role with us. 2nd line c with pp and ok time. Still a big role, just not elite 1st line centre.
Hope people don't think I'm bashing him. I'm from Brampton so I'd love to see him prove me wrong.
