He will get better as he matures. Still crazy to think he's only 22 years old and yet he shouldered the blame for yet another 1st round exit. I genuinely believe the series might have turned out differently if he wasn't injured. We'll never know. But he seems like a player who is happy to put the weight of the team on his shoulders when he wants to.
I think he has extra gear inside of him, but it might take time for him to figure out how to use it. But I'll never doubt his effort, passion or will to win. My worry is the team fails to build around him correctly and then we're in yet another typical Flames' scenario where we have a great winger who doesn't get to play with an elite C and then everyone complains about how terrible it is to build around yet another winger.
