When I say full potential I mean A type of CHara or Weber which means offense included.
Defensively though we've seen flashes of what he could become though he's not where I think he should be...but many of us say he's a 2 year Whale player. I thought Hagelin was ranked too low by us in the summer and look where he ended up this year so hopefully the same goes with Fasth and within 2 years he;'ll be over here havinga great rookie season too.
