He's been surprisingly aggressive offensively, he's frequently joining the rush either leading or filling in lanes in support while often hustling to beat everyone back. Multiple rushes he lead and passed off well should've been buried and just weren't. His one on one defense has been at times very good, and overall has been solid. He's fumbled two pucks badly, and they both found their way in the net - though the second one was some pretty bad goaltending. He, like all the Canes D have been scrambly in his own end. In terms of coverage they're all blowing it so it's hard to really analyze him there. I havent seen any blatant errors from him, they're all reading each other wrong.
You have to keep in mind the pairings are completely off. He should be playing with Pesce on his left side. TVR is the only righty, and he's playing a role above his level. They're all rotating through playing the wrong side. Being down Pesce threw things off notably more than Hamilton did, defensively anyways. It's a shit show. Adding Vatanen wouldve been really nice.
He's a good offensive minded/transitional compliment to the healthy group. He's not a defensive shutdown guy, and that's probably not what he was acquired for....though the Canes in their current state probably needed more of that style to ride the storm out.
