Strength and stamina will be the easiest things for him to catch up on. You could argue he has less miles on the chassis having not gone thru the rigours of a season and a half.
It's the game experience and ability to make reads and react
and expanded hockey sense that he will have a harder time making up. If he makes the Avalanche and plays a full season he will have earned it.
