He's quite small obviously, but he is really aware.

Yes, you saw exactly my impression of him. He's listed at 5'10" and 185 lbs, which to me at 18 or 19 is fairly solid and can grow a bit more. Skating was smooth and he seemed very confident. USA didn't seem to play him much, but was on #1 pp and a 3rd pairing it seemed time wise.
