He glides well but that explosiveness that makes Makar successful isn't there. As is that shiftiness that particular guys have. In no way do I want that to be a negative, just that he's got work for himself that'll just take time. I think it was responsible they put him down to the minors for a year or two. His body will mature over time. NHL guys are strong and can keep up with him as he is right now. If he progresses perhaps he can be like Hughes or Makar.
