CM is weird. Even in HS, he would have games where you didn't notice him, then he'd have others where he'd be like a blazing comet of talent. I was shocked to see how mediocre he looked in pre and early season games....like he was out of shape, or not mentally in things, or just not able to cope with the speed and power of the NHL, but that made no sense, because he was fine in his brief period last year.
I thought he was very good with the Gophers most of the time, and his production didn't match his level of play.
When he is dialed in, his talent is unmistakable. Maybe he'll end up being one of those talented enigmas like Kent Nilsson, but I don't think so. Too much of a hockey nerd, and too down to earth, by all reports.
