I'll never understand why people feel like every player over 6'2 is required to be physical. Artie has shown tremendous improvement in his willingness to get to the dirty areas of the ice and his ability to protect the puck. His on-ice awareness has also improved, and he's not skating around with his head down so much.
He's a potentially tremendous asset. Offensive upside in the ~60 point range, defensively responsible, and he's a great kid that the coaches really like. I truly hope to see him as our #2C for a long, long time.
No problem with what he showed me this year.
