What does Battaglia need to work on the most? How is his skating? Is there any chance he makes the WJC? (assuming the buttheads at Hockey Canada doesn't shoot themselves in the foot again..)
HM shout out to Jamieson who has been fun to follow too.

Battaglia is not a poor skater, but his deficiencies were amplified in camp this year, watching him with the pros. He was behind the play a bit, so he's got work to do there. He reminds me a bit of Zach Hyman.
