He’s a small guy but he doesn’t play small. His size has not impeded him at all in the AHL which if anything is a bigger league than the NHL size wise nowadays.
And even then how does it hurt to give him a game? If he’s too small you send him back down.
This type of mindset is why teams pass on guys like Brayden Point in the draft and it’s so outdated.
Good tweet by Darren Haynes shows what he can bring, even makes a pretty nice hit on Nick Robtertson to win the puck back on the forecheck https://twitter.com/DarrenWHaynes/st...7Ctwgr%5Etweet
