I was super excited when we drafted him, I thought he was exactly what we needed with the potential for a great two way, big center who would be an anchor for us up the middle. He's provided a lot more scoring than I ever thought he would, but that's really about it.
I can't believe how little he shows physically though. For a guy with his size, who played lacrosse, he sure plays a soft game. Hopefully he comes around and develops a mild mean streak. If he could just play a little bit more physical and develop a stronger defensive game he'd be exactly what I had expected when we drafted him
I suppose there's still time for him to put it together like that, otherwise he's just going to stay as is. I mean, a 30 goal center is still great to have, but he has all the tools to be more than just a cream puff goal scorer.
