Lol at the overreactions. Typical knee-jerk reactions. He's been up and down in every game this year, but when it comes down too it hes 20 and has 3 points in 7 games and is Even. That's basically 20 points projected. Not terrible for a guy who's size/skillset tend to foreshadow a transition period into the next level. No training camp/preseason/injury in the AHL + line mates that don't fit perfect + defensive responsibilities + being a 20 yr old rookie = The kind of play you are seeing. I don't really care if he gets knocked down a lot as long as he is willing to keep going to those areas. The games a bit fast for him right now, but he's dominated every level for a reason. Hockey is hockey no matter where you play it.
Give him time. It may not even happen this season, but hel eventually work into being a good player. Loving all the knee-jerk bust posts and people saying the sky is falling or he is our savior based on each shift and stuff. HFboards ftw.
