Yeah, this guy gets too much flack. He's had a lot of setbacks early on in his career due to injury. He's got some good tools and just needs to get comfortable out there. I think he also got off to a bad start because he was a young player and we had MacLean playing all the vets. Then, when things started clicking between the top lines he got relegated to bottom 6.
I doubt he'll ever become a 1st line FWD but he's the kind of depth player that can step up in times of injury. Maybe he can make the most of those opportunities and that just pushes other players to fight for the spot.
He got off to a fantastic start under Maclean. Effective at ES. Good net presence getting decent minutes on the PP. After 20 games he fell off large and was relegated to lower lines because he just wasn't good.
What were you watching?
