What don't you like about his skating? In OHL draft scouting reports, his skating was touted as one of the strengths of his game, an assessment that I agree with having watched quite a bit of video on him in midget during the two years before he was drafted.Don’t love his skating, but good offensive player. Can shoot, pass, gets into good scoring positions. Maybe he could reach first round if he improved his skating, but my thinking is more likely a round 2-3 player.
Big agreement with you, watching him play for the Wolves this year, he's one of the best skaters on the team.What don't you like about his skating?

I'm curious, have you watched him a fair bit before this tourney? If this is your first look at him and you don't like his skating, it makes me wonder if he has some kind of injury that his hampering his skating.

In the comments someone said something about a bounty. Would be wild, if true.Just speculating, but Barrie Colts defender Kashawn Aitcheson had to be held out of 2 recent games. Not injury related, and not related to his on ice play. It is believed he was held out for his safety.
Just speculation, of course - but, if that’s the case; the suspended players may have put a bounty on Aitcheson’s head internally, the chats got leaked, Aitcheson had to be held out of Barrie’s next 2 games against Sudbury because of it for his own safety, and we’re seeing him and Konyen reprimanded now.In the comments someone said something about a bounty.
