Nice signing. Looked really good in Penticton.
Gotta be careful not to get excited about his numbers though. He ranks third in the WHL in points, yes, but his two linemates (Steenbergen and Heponiemi) are ranked 1st and 2nd.
He's not nearly as good offensively as either of them but he's clearly trusted by his team as he ranks 2nd (Heponiemi is 1st) in even strength ice time per game at 24 minutes and plays on the #1 PK unit I believe whereas Heponiemi and Steenbergen are only on the PP. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though
