His strength is still an obvious issue, but he's got a little of that puck-magnet quality to him. It seems to find him and stick to him.
Totally, and that IS fixable to a large extent. He needs a good strength/conditioning coach with a nutrition coach from June-September. I just put on 8 pounds in the past 3 months of mostly lean tissue, he has no weight issue, I promise you he can put on 8-10 pounds eating 3000-4000 calories a day, weight training 4 days a week, skating with a skating coach, mobility work, etc.
Besides the weight factor, which is a factor as far as guys knocking you down or off the puck, the strength thing is important too. He is a skinny kid by nature, probably a weaker kid by nature. Not his fault. He can change it, but that takes longer. I'm sure he's already a lot stronger than when he was 18. But, he's 22, in total prime of his life. He can get a lot stronger over the next two seasons. One offseason isn't enough. He needs a couple dedicated years to really get man-strong.
