Like as soon a puck looks like it's turned over he's blown the zone and is up ice looking for the stretch pass. Defense is a weakness. He's kind of a one-way player at this point, which doesn't stand up to Reschny or Potter. He skates pretty well, but not as good as Potter or Reschny. There is a reason why he drafted where he was drafted. He is the sum of his parts and some of his parts are not great. It's one of the reasons why I would like to see him move to a stronger program with a more pro-oriented game. Might really help his development and round his game so he is a top end player. As he is, he may struggle at the pro game because the expectation will be for him to play hard at both ends. Potential is huge based on the steps he took this year, but he definitely doesn't want to plateau and stagnate.

Thanks. Appreciate these insights even if they aren't in his favour as it provides a different perspective.
