Love how he plays the game and his skillset/style of play is primed for even more potential. He uses his strength and body positioning so well with his soft hands and high hickey IQ... and he still has lots of room to get stronger.
Plus he has shown to be very effective despite his poor skating. That leaves another potential area for him to improve his game. I doubt he’ll ever be a fast skater but if he could get his speed up to even an average NHL level, he’ll be even more effective than he is now.
But even if he doesn’t... if he remains the exact player he is now without any improvement in his game/physical ability... he’s still a steal of a pick and a big-time player to have on this team.
