Yeah he's got an amazing set of hands and will be productive offensively for the Panthers. Like I said before he reminds me a lot of Phaneuf in that he fancies himself as a leader but lacks natural leadership intangibles. Maybe as he matures more that will come to him but to be a good leader but I have a hard time picturing veteran players looking up to him for leadership given his antics and immaturity.
