Odd that it took so long.

He didn't stand out on a very deep, young Texas Stars squad. He needs a lot of work. Idaho should help boost his confidence, at the very least.

First season in the AHL didn't play much. Healthy scratch, ECHL assignment but around March he started getting selected, and produced down the stretch for a playoff team. Finished a modest 12 points in 19 games. Then continued getting games in the playoffs. Scoreless but 4 playoff games showed the staff thought he improved as the season went on and trusted him when it mattered most.

This season he's been a staple in a deep lineup with 10 points in 14 games, including 2 goals and an assist in tonight's game. Still has some defensive issues to work on and needs to make better decisions on when to pass vs shoot but he's been a relentless driver of offensive chances so far in the young season and has hit the post 5 times already.

He's behind Stankoven and Bourque but Dallas' aging team has plenty of spots opening up in the next few seasons and if he keeps up the scale of improvements he's made so far the kid's going to be an NHLer in two seasons. His linemate Chase Wheatcroft also deserves some love as he's been good in his debut AHL season.
