I thought he was actually one of the best players out there. Had great board work and always drove to the net hard. He got hit with his head down, but that stuff happens from time to time. He really comes across as a player Babcock would love to have. Big frame, good puck skills. I think he makes a case for the bottom 6
That's great to hear. I wasn't really watching for him, so only really noticed him when he made mistakes. He's survived the de-Burke-enizing of the Leafs, so management definitely sees something in him.
