I'd be happy if he became a poor mans version of Jake and became a solid #5/6.Big man, and tough. Hope is that he is a late bloomer like his brother.
From all we know, this guy works hard and is very coachable. His AHL coach has done a good job with Malinski.Jake didn't play significant games in the NHL till he was 26 yo, and was the final pick in his draft year. He is now 29, and has improved every year, especially with his skating and puck skills, and is now a legit 2nd pairing guy who is tough as nails. Not saying that his brother's career will follow the same trajectory, but if he works hard it's not impossible.
