Feels like he should be a perfect Sutter player, the value of this contract will depend how/if he responds to coaching. Seems like the classic case of a young guy who wants to establish himself and thinks points are the best way to do that so he cheats a bit offensively, but needs to understand that if he brings his full compete in the other areas, the points will come.

I think he can and will do it, hopefully sooner than later, but he is still very young (regardless of what that prodigious beard might say) and it might take another full season of development before he's a bona fide top-6 threat.
