He's now played 7 games and I've been able to watch him for a few of them. My view on him in the limited sample size.
Pros:
Good puck skills, appears to have capability to be a good playmaker/good vision, plays with good hockey sense/makes smart plays, gives good effort on both ends, good 2 way player.
Cons:
Soft/weak along the boards, sometimes a bit tentative going into tough areas, doesn't seem overly fast to me (maybe it's just the way he plays looking to make a pass), his shot seems average (although in fairness, haven't seen enough of it but maybe because he doesn't shoot enough), and is weak on faceoffs.
Given what you have seen, what are your views on him and where do you think he can fit long term?
