His defensive awareness for an 18 year old player in the NHL as a Rookie, is outstanding. Why do you think he has the 2nd highest TOI total among Forwards on the PK. Including a whopping 7+ minutes tonight on the PK. And he's put on the ice at the end of games with a 1 goal lead. Not sure at all what your looking at. He's the real deal. He has Hockey sense that you can't teach.
