Yes he's a bit of a reclamation project but he's far from not being an NHL player and could be a steal. This game isnt about having 12 guys who score 40 points minimum. I can see him getting 30 points next year while moving up and down the lineup. The only likely way he looks bad is if he gets buried on the 4th line or pressbox. Solid young player who had a very unlucky year

I see this as well. Perhaps not a pure point producer, but he has a bit of a Frolik vibe to me. First rounder that may not wow you with pure skill, but good all-around ability and the potential to move up and down the line-up.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
