Just what the Pens needed, more center depth.
Seriously, he's pretty streaky, but you have to expect that with a guy playing his first full NHL season. I'd expect his play to become more consistent next year. Hopefully he can learn to play a little wing, too. It would help.
Hard to believe he didn't get drafted. He's a little small and he isn't the greatest skater, but he's incredibly hockey-smart, good passer and has a pretty heavy shot. I've seen far less talented guys than him get drafted.
