I have been one of the "less" excited users here regarding Lauko, but I have to admit he looked impressive in the game against Washington. Certainly exceeded my expectations. Didn't look out of place, played hard and tried to make plays. That little pass to Noebels for a breakaway was great, Washington defensemen played that terribly and Lauko made the best of it.
He reminds me of Pasta off the ice as a guy who is just excited to play hockey. Very easy to root for players like him.
I didn't find what you said to be overly critical and simply offered some insight with tempered expectations. He's a raw player with a lot to improve on but it's easy to see the skillset they liked in the player. I hope I'll get to watch him play some more!
