He had a very strong start from what I saw. His skating is definitely one of his best assets, and his defensive IQ and stickwork were pretty good too. Offensively, he's not amazing, but he makes a good first pass and does a good job getting his shots through, though he's not much of a threat to score with them. Does all right in the corners, but he needs to get stronger and doesn't really look to make big hits. After a bit, he hit a rough patch (and really the whole team did -- they were BAD defensively until the lockout ended and they got Pardy instead of Brennan and the level of talent in the league went down). Seems like he's gotten back on track since then though.
I'd say he projects as anywhere from a 2-4 guy in the NHL if all goes well. Maybe puts up 30 points, logging fairly tough defensive minutes.
