On the PK, he's intimidating. It's just feels like he's holding back for some reason 5v5. We all know the skill is there.
Pure skill and size, he should have more points than Backlund, with the ice time he is getting. Frustrating player, and that's probably why he is not on the PP. I would love if he pushed his way onto PP2.

The PK he can be aggressive at the blue line when the other team tries to enter, as the entire PK unit is. When they create the turnover, it’s usually a rush, either an odd man rush or one with a forward back, so that allows him to be aggressive and skate positively, and also have the time and space to get a good shot and follow up.
5 on 5 or PP, it’s possesion and being quick and winning battles in the offensive zone, and that’s where he fades into the background and not pushing the envelope nearly as much.
