I keep saying this but no one cares :'(
I think he'll be used similarly to how Carlyle used Kadri. Third line very sheltered, but sometimes given some 2nd line work.
I also think he'll do very well there
He'll get mostly "middle 6" time IMO as well. Don't see him playing top line time at all. Anywhere from 10-15 mins a game early on. Maybe more near the end of the season but he'll likely be eased into things.
Agree completely - he'll have a bit of a transition to make, but he's got some skills that the Jets could really use. His one timer is great, his shot is truly NHL quality, he sees the ice really well, and thinks the game quickly. Give him some time adjusting to the speed of the NHL, and I'm almost positive he'll push for the 2C position next year. He was 2PPG from the start of December this year, and I think a little above that after being sent back down.
Really hoping the Colts can win everything this year - would be a great way for him to finish his Junior career. Then: skating and packing on pounds to get ready for TC next year.
I think how he sees the ice and how he seems to be in the right spot at the right time will be huge early on for him. Some other things might not come along right away but those two things I think will get him through the early season and keep his ice time to at least a decent level.
