It's such a jump being 15 and playing against 18 year olds. He looked small and I felt as though he played small. There was one shift in particular where he was puck watching as the d-man in front of the net and lost his man but was bailed out by Thompson.
I trust that they will continue to give him sheltered minutes, but he has lots of growing left to do and it needs to happen sooner to have the strength to be a d-main in this league
