This time, he brilliantly stopped on a dime and only his reputation carried into the goalie. Amazing play. Kid looked really good last night.

I'm on record on CP as being a big fan of this kid. I know he doesn't dazzle like some of the other kids like Zary, or come with the charisma and charm like a guy like Pelletier, and so many are okay to trade him or see him gone, but for a young player, he seems to really learn fast, knows what his strengths (and weaknesses are) and doesn't seem to do too much outside of what has him up with the Flames. I'm looking closely to see how he handles all the extra stuff after the whistle or even during play that has led to skirmishes and fights in the past given his reputation now and his concussion history. He seems like a smart kid and I'm expecting him to tone things down while still being a physically annoying player to line up against. I was very happy to hear Conroy and Huska speak about him like a core guy in this group.
