I honestly still think he has potential to be a top 6 player. I think he's caught a few bad breaks and it's still in him to be the kid he was drafted to be. He reminds me a lot of Backlund, not in that they play the same style of game but for a while I thought that Backlund wouldn't be anything more than a third line guy. This year I don't think he'll be that amazing on the stat sheet but I still see him as a long term part of the team.
