In terms of ability, talent, skill-Patrick has all the tools, even beating Cozens by a country mile. This kid had 102 pts in the dub the year PRIOR to his draft year. The problem is his concussions-he's already had some serious ones that have derailed his career, probably forever. Even if he gets back to 100%, he will still be waiting for the next one to happen that will force him to retire.
If you want to aquire him, you're taking a huge risk. He undoubtedly has the talent to be a #1C, but we've seen what a few bad concussions can do in Savard, Ferland just to name a few....
