I'm not a Kraken fan, but I've seen about 30 of his games this year - he's so much fun and so dangerous. Seattle should be able to generate offensively through him without the puck having to come off Dunn's stick. His shot, shot selection and willingness to get to places to use it effectively... it's enviable with someone who went at 35OA.
I think he still needs to gain a lot more strength and put some pounds on him to be not easily pushed off the puck because the NHL is a lot tougher. But his skill and shot are world class. I think the Kraken can be patient with him and let him get stronger in the minors.
Small fanbase ..Kid's got 60 and leading point getter in the WHL. Where are the Kraken fans to pump his tires?

I am pretty excited about him but still trying to temper my expectations. Kids his size can struggle in the pros. How he performs in Coachella next season should be a good barometer.

Most, if not all, of the Kraken fans are pretty excited about seeing him in the AHL next season. However, the concern with him is around his size and how translatable his skills are in the Pros.19 years old
300+ career points for the Moose Jaw, broke a franchise record of points scored in career, single season goal record too,
- almost 50 career play-offs points so far, in just 28 games
he just gotta score many many goals and points in the NHL, he is just too big time player, producer of goals and points
He may not give the Seattle fanbase what they want but if he tries sometimes they’ll get what they need.
I actually botched it. It should have been he won’t always give the fan base what they want. I forgot the always. In any event. I am really rooting for this kid. Years of bad Stones puns alone make him one of my favorites.
I see what you did there. But Rolling Stones aside, right now what we want is pretty much what we need. Ha ha.
