I think anytime a kid this young comes from another country to play junior, especially European, their first year over they need to be cut a lot of slack. Another world away from family, friends plus a different language would equal a lot of distractions and reasons to not play at their optimal level. He also suffered a fairly significant injury in his draft year. A lot for a young guy and still remained a high ranked prospect. Lot's of character building there. He's big, going to get bigger and he's skilled. This is not Keegan Kanzig

We might have a real good one. I like it a lot.
