LOL, I'm not sure.
He never really got a shot in Tampa to be a top 6 player since they had some firmly established talent in those spots. He was stuck on the 4th line as he was just breaking into the league.
He got a lucky break with Huberdeau going down with an injury, and he's making the most of it playing with two excellent players in Barkov and Jagr. He's got good speed, a good shot, good on the forecheck, and he anticipates the play pretty well. He's not big, but he doesn't play small either.
Either way, I'd pick him up for a pool until Huberdeau gets back. Kid is on fire.
