Is it really though? Ive seen highlights where he goes in and fights for pucks in his highlight reels, something he flat out didn't do in the tournament. Add to that, that the scouts we fans mostly rely on have in the majority said he is a grittier player than his brother, I don't know exactly if he is that soft consistently. That being said, I am more leery of him now than I was before the U-18's.
Maybe he didn't want to get hurt in this tournament. Maybe he is a softie. Who knows what reasons lie behind the curtain.
