Sorry for asking this without reading all the posts in this thread because I'm sure it's been addressed but I am a bit strapped for time -- how good is this kid supposed to be defensively? After watching him in that Oilers development camp scrimmage, he was obviously great offensively but not very spectacular in his own end. And that was against Oilers prospects and undrafted invites so I wonder how he's going to be against real NHL players? I mean I'm sure he'll obviously improve in that area a lot as he gets going in his career but for all the hype about how he's going to sweep all the trophies during his first NHL season or whatever, I was expecting him to be a bit better defensively.
Then again, I realize it was just some scrimmage and he maybe wasn't trying that hard. I haven't seen much of his play otherwise, so that's why I'm asking.
