Wood kind of reminds me of Clarkson. He plays with a lot of energy but isn't a particularly smart player. Which doesn't mean he can't be a useful player. Clarkson had the hockey IQ of a potato but still had a few productive years before the injuries and expectations in Toronto caught up with him. I think Wood's ceiling depends on his ability to think the game and not just go full throttle all the time. So far I definitely have some doubts about that. Still, I love the kid's energy and I hope his head catches up with his feet, because he could be a heck of a player if it ever does.
I've been thinking this too. But an exceptionally fast Clarkson.
