He's not the most talented rookie this year, but he's getting it done @20 years old. And looking like the better part vs. guys like Ladd, Brouwer and Versteeg ever did when given the same opportunity.

He's been very good and consistent so far. I can't believe it took him 13 or 14 games to register an assist with how well he was playing. You'd think he would have at least lucked into one earlier than he did.
