Didn't find a thread in the first 6 pages so I'm starting a new one.
Played really well since being called up IMO. He's protecting the puck and using his long strides to get the puck out safely, while being patient when there isn't an opening. Also his shot seems to be a bit better, at least accuracy wise. That could lead to plenty of tip plays.
I think he's being a bit hesitant to overcommit to checking, but I think once he's comfortable he'll be using his strength more. Otherwise he's been solid in his own end.
I also really, really like how well he can move. Even a mobile Hal Gill could be a valuable asset when he tops off his development.
