He’s grown 10 inches and put on 50 lbs in the last two years which is pretty incredible. He has a physical presence and is starting to develop a nice touch around the net. His coaches in Vancouver were very high on him. I think this is a very solid pick for the 5th round and I suspect you’ll see him eventually play in the show.

As a Giants fan there’s definitely some upside with this pick. Was the only one scoring goals at the beginning of the year then got hurt off a skate cut. Very good skill set of size/speed/shot and showed a lot more comfort in his size last year vs his original draft year. Expecting a big year for him. His vision/playmaking would be where I would be concerned.
