Edit: he's a LW. I ly winger I want in this draft is named McKenna.

Fans have been down on him because:
-he's old, with a Sept.25th birthday
-hasn't produced like he should this year, with 25 points in 24 games- after 87 in 64 last year.
-his GAF meter and physicality have serious ebbs and flows. He was sat at the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge, with hardly any shifts throughout the game, and none in the third. How do you get benched in an exhibition?
-Skating has been criticized, but it's really not all that bad- he's fine when he's actually moving his feet.
To me, he doesn't look as good as last season, but I still like him- just maybe not enough for the top-5 anymore.
