Yes, he showed he was durable. But he won't be able to make the jump until he commits to 200 ft hockey and figures out he can't deke everyone out like it's junior. Take a look at the stretch in the middle of the season, where he went goalless for a number of weeks. He was slamming his stick on the ice, slamming gates. He needs to show some maturity if he wants to live up to his first-round pedigree.
Yeah, he's not ready just yet, sometimes it takes a few years in the minors for the light to come on, he has all the tools, he just needs to learn to be a pro.
