I guess it is just tough to see that upside when you look at the history of the player. Always highly praised as a junior but he also had a ton of injuries and played 2 seasons in the NHL where he put a reasonable 30pts then missed another full season. Pretty mediocre number so far this year and he is 22 already. He has missed a lot of time so questioning his upside is far from ridiculous. I question his durability and the numbers don’t really show a budding superstar like it appeared he would become in junior.
