Not only was he a total non-factor and made some very poor decisions, he was diving. How this guy was a first round pick is beyond me. I just can't see him as a skilled NHL player. I've been watching him in tournaments for four years now and he just hasn't improved. He was the same player (with less ice time) three years ago in Grand Forks. People say he has some kind of offensive upside but his skill level has never struck me as high. He doesn't have any different skill that dozens of other kids in his age group have. If he makes the NHL as an offensive player I'll be surprized.
Still, you can't be passing full judgement on a player thats only 18(?) years old. He can still develope. Otherwise i agree, he played very average.
