But... it's really hard for me to watch him and not see an NHL player. I don't think it's spin. If there was an NHL player on that Heat team, he's it.
I see an NHL player too, I like his pace and his skills. I just think he needs to be protected. I think he'd excel on one of Sutter's Kings teams, where his lack of size and strength is compensated for by his teammates.

I'm not sure he can co-exist on a team with Gaudreau, Mangiapane, Dube and Ryan.

"Big heart, tries hard", that's about the greatest praise you can get from a Sutter.
