I’m not worried about his skating. I have heard criticisms about his lack of creativity though. Like he uses the same plays all the time, over and over, and that may not work at the NHL level. He isn’t a puck distributor which is something you want your number one center to be. The comparisons to Dubois don’t help either. I was convinced he was going to the the next best thing and he disappointed. I am probably biased against him for that reason.
