You can tell he was used to being the best skater on the ice and being able to be a rover.

Good call.

i watched every Minnesota game that was televised in the NY area and your being way too hard on him. First off, he was scatched once at the end of the year when they decided they need more offense. When he dressed he played regular minutes and was on the first PK unit. He's pretty damn good and will only get better with experience. His size and skating are NHL ready and he moves the puck smartly and on the tape. Give the kid a break.

Neither his offense or defense impressed me much. He skates very nicely and that is all I get out of him usually. He's young, getting a bigger role next year, plenty of time/room to grow.
