Honestly, the only thing that really impressed me about Daigle was his skating. He had, and still has, all-world skating ability, and he used it to tear minor hockey and junior apart. But once he got to the show, his flaws were exposed. It's not just an attitude thing, or a work ethic thing, although those two deficiencies prevented him from improving. His shot never impressed me. His hockey sense never impressed me. His physical game and defensive play never impressed me. He lacked hockey sense, smarts and instincts, and in terms of all the mental aspects of the game, which are so important, he was lacking. His skating will never be questioned, he's one of the best skaters we'll probably ever see, but outside of skating, he was probably average, at best, in most aspects of the game.
