This kid is literally doing everything that is asked of him this season, and single handedly turned that 4th line around.

That meets the eye test for me, he has been one of the best forwards in my opinion outside the Backlund line. Has done everything he could possibly be asked to do to move up the lineup. Now may be the time to sit in the press box and learn more (maybe put on a little more weight to add some size).
