Conditioning is one of the easiest things for a hockey player to correct. There are millions of dollars on the line here, I'm thinking that he gets that part figured out sooner rather than later. I think the expectation that he would get the message one year after being drafted was being overly optimistic. He's a talented kid who has played very, very well in the OHL... maybe it has come too easy for him thus far? A reality lesson against men in 16/17 should help him figure it out. I'll start worrying if he's still gassed at next year's camp or it's a well documented issue throughout his first pro year.

100% agree and I share the exact top 5. I guess we'll see how the individually ranking votes shake down. I believe a week ago if you had a poll who is our top D prospect Andersson would have won (a good chance anyway). Now he may get voted 3rd. I still have him 1st. If he gets his conditioning in order he will be a beast.
