Glad he's doing well. Always hate to see any talent wasted by injuries.
Where's he playing in the line-up?
Kind of depends. Most nights we have our first line of Iafallo-Kopitar-Brown and then kind of two third lines. I'd call him the 2C since most nights he's centering some combo of Frk, Kempe, Moore in mostly offensive situations. But especially when he gets gassed or on back to backs, that's for sure the 'lower' of the two lines, and he'll sometimes get Amadio-Lewis. Really basically everywhere but with line 1. And sometimes gets PP2 time.
Would LOVE to see him get a look on PP1 or with Kopitar just for a game even but he really literally takes all of Kopitar's spots on the ice and PP, haha. The guy's vision is just absolutely off the charts good, and a lot of times it takes the eye of someone who has watched a lot of hockey looking at him specifically to notice the details. He made one play against VGK leading to a goal that didn't even get him an assist but absolutely dropped my jaw, making a move behind our net to draw two VGK checkers and firing it off the boards in front of him to go through the legs of the forechecker behind him right onto our dmans stick to start a breakout. Constantly little creative things that I don't see other players even try, and he's walked right into the NHL and acted like it's no big deal.
