I didn't think he would translate his game so well to be honest. Very rare for a 18 year old to look like a man playing in the NHL. He's had his ups and downs but he's been at least one of the best top 6 players on this team and deserves his spot.
I hope he stays with Backlund and Frolik which will allow him to go to the net and play hard down low and not worry too much about making mistakes knowing you have those two covering for you if you do make a mistake.
