The weird part of it is he is so much more effective offensively as well when he is playing that physical game.
Had a couple flashes of speed and skill this season that do leave you wondering if there is more room for offensive growth.
Biggest thing for me is that he needs to work REALLY HARD to play the game the way he has played this year and IMO that will hold back his offensive production.
He can play that way for 11 minutes a game, but not sure he can play that way for the 16/17 minutes that he would need to play to be a true top 6 forward.
