Funny because he came to the leauge for his hands, and in my mind good hands has a place. Maybe coaches just needed a guy who plays reckless than a finess guy, who there are a ton of
He was a great amateur player that had to adapt his game to become relevant as a professional. Lots of guys do it. Look no further than Conor Garland. Guy was like Pat Kane in the QMJHL. Now he has to play more like Brendan Gallagher to survive.

This happens a lot. And guys burn out. Think of Petr Prucha and Marek Svatos (RIP). Guys who weighed 170lbs soaking wet and played the game like Power Forwards. They had a couple of huge years with eye popping numbers. But they had very short, injury filled careers. Bright flames that burned out quick.
