That's not necessarily a bad thing, just not reflective of his draft position. A Backlund type mold is his max potential IMO.

Of course that seems more likely... that's all he's been used as up to this point. No PP time, consistently on the third line...
You drafted him expecting a top 6 forward, you treat him and groom him as a bottom six forward, and eventually you can't really expect him to develop into anything but a bottom six forward.
I hope he does develop and I think it will happen, I wish he would get brouwerplay minutes over the next little while here, and maybe a bump up the lineup if anyone falters.
