There was a English kid at my primary school in NZ who was small and rather effeminate, and his nickname was "the Phantom Feeler".

I like his attitude and he's definitely picked up his game. He's got loads of talent so I do expect him to get better as he learns the NHL hockey. My only concern is that at his age, not having gone through a long season like the NHLs, is how he'll hold up down the stretch. With that said, and it may be too early but with so many question marks on D going forward I definitely wouldn't be opposed to re-signing him to a short extension at the right price.

He's played a lot internationally and his KHL team was in the playoffs every year and often going deep. He played 70 combined games last year, 82 in 13/14, and 86 in 12/13. I think he'll be alright.

He also missed 11 games already this season. Injuries can hit at any time, but I don't think fatigue will be an issue.

Was gonna check elite prospects but I was too lazy so thanks for that. So it seems like he can handle the quantity of games but the physicality of the NHL game might grind him down a bit more then he's used to.
