If he was showing well prior to the injuries, you probably wouldn't see this kind of talk.
Yep, if he was showing as well as Conor Timmins in Colorado pre injury (lost a full year to concussion), we wouldn't be as worried. It's the stagnation and lack of improvement in all the areas flagged since being draft that just compound with the injuries.
He didn't draft himself 5th overall, I'll give him that.
He did very cockily say "I think I'm the best D man from this draft" at the draft.
