I am not a big believer in Patrick being more than a decent 2C which is not a bad thing but not someone who should be guaranteed top minutes or is a sure fire breakout guy. He was hurt all junior and has been pretty bland at the NHL level.
Not saying he is a finished product but Hayes is not holding him back at all
