He looks like a different player in first year highlights because he has no pressure and no responsibility. And they're highlights. I'll also point out there's a lot of hustle there but not much finish. His isn't high, and he's learning the defensive game. Unfortunately he's let that affect his confidence, and he'd be better served dominating the AHL at this point. In retrospect he should have been there the whole time. But people get impatient, including Sam. He'll be fine, like Michael Backlund, although perhaps never living up to his 4th pick potential.

People need to breathe. Can't believe the rush to sell kids at the lowest value. I'm so glad the NHL is run by actual professionals
