I don't care what his offensive numbers are - who cares if a 19 year old can dominate teenagers? I am far more interested in guys that want to work on their deficiencies and become better players. This quote is exactly what I want to see:

"The goal for this season is to work on my weaknesses, like my play away from the puck in the defensive zone, forechecking, and backchecking. It will help me accomplish my goal of making the NHL next year. Calgary has a young, rebuilding team, which could help a young guy like me break through if the opportunity presents itself. It’s on me to prepare for that opportunity."
