I see tremendous goal scoring ability when Sam is on his game and playing confidently, but I also see some lacking of IQ in his game. He doesn't go to the right places as often as Monahan or seem to know where his linemates are at all times like a Gaudreau. If he had more of that hockey sense, he might be this soon to be best organizational player that CPers have been trumpeting for some time, but as far as 1.5 seasons and a postseason worth of hockey, I don't see him having said highest ceiling that people here seem to be so confident about.

At his peak I think he could be a 55-65 point center. And that isn't too bad at all if you ask me. So long as he has a strong two-way game to go with it.
