Did well last night... Was caught out of position a few times and made a couple bad pinches but otherwise he worked hard and played pretty good. Coaches obviously didnt mind playing him cause he got a decent amount of icetime and was also out alot on the pk

How was his debut? Didn’t catch it.

Solid. Earned more chances imo.

Good to hear. He’s one of those players I’ve followed for a long time but has kinda fallen off the radar recently.

Had a few rough looking moments leading to breakaways for the other team but I think he is showing an ability to play in the NHL nonetheless.

Yeah I think hes an NHLer for sure he should have a career. Hes small and will get outmuscled in corners but also throws a lot of big hits. I dont know if he'll ever be more than a bottom pairing guy that can play on the PP in a pinch but thats pretty good for an undrafted 5'8 player if it happens
