I've watched probably 75% of the games he's played w the Pats, as I live here, since he came into the organization. All my previous points stand. He is an insanely elite talent, and when on, especially offensively, he is night and day. Yes, opposition defence centers around him. But far too often he seems to want to let the play come to him when he doesn't have the puck, not go in and get the puck himself.
He has picked it up this year for sure, as last year, he didn't meet the eye test for me. This year, the majority of games before the Christmas break, he was hot and cold in his effort without the puck. After, as the stats show, he has been on fire.
The Pats are not a good team this year. And yea, i kind of wish they traded him for a kings ransom. But there's no way they were going to, as hearing him go #1 overall from the Regina Pats, will go further for name recognition for the team.
