Laing may have improved his skating over the course of the season a bit, but it was a detriment when he was drafted. Still looks like he needs work in this area. The other thing is that he could be a lot more physical, especially given his size.
Last season, his defensive metrics were SPARKLING, which is good, because he's most likely going to be playing a bottom-6 role in the pros. He flashes skill, scoring potential, and smarts, though.
He looked like he was getting plenty of time at C when he started with the Blades, but he's back on the wing.
