He takes such smart routes all over the ice. You can tell right away just how well that second line is going to work and how it is going to revive Kane at even strength

Multiple times a game the kid will be the F1 and F3 in the same exact sequence lol. Uses his skating so effectively

This is why I'm super high on Danielson as well, takes intelligent routes all over the ice. Even in the offensive zone, where both him and Kasper also have the high end ability to generate carried zone entries. That's extremely important for a center to do if they are going to begin to produce offense in the NHL

It's what makes sometimes overlooked C's like Larkin, Eichel, Hintz so dangerous because they can back off D and distribute the puck (and also shoot). Need Marco and Nate to continue shooting and learning how to get off difficult shots so that they're super dual-threats. Wyatt Johnston is unreal at this

Kasper has been used to pro hockey for 3+ years now so naturally Danielson needs extra adjustment time but he's got 8 points in his last 11 and showing signs of producing exactly what he showcased in junior. Raw, but projectable offense will come cause very few show that so early on in their NHL careers

Marco is a real keeper for us and he might have a higher ceiling than any of us originally thought
