Sorry I’m a bit late to the party on this thread but I have Kitchener Rangers season tickets and have watched him play live over the last two seasons.
He actually is a tale of two players. In his draft year he played a lot more of a conservative style of game. He had 57 points in 68 games but with just 6 goals. He made the safe defensive play way more often than not. He is a late birthday so I had to keep in mind that he was older than almost everyone in his draft year.
This past year Kitchener had an all new coaching staff and they took the reins off. He was welcome to join the play and even lead the rush. He was rewarded with 92 points over 67 games. 13 of those points were goals. Because he played a more offensive style of game he was caught defensively at times. He doesn’t play a physical game but he has a great stick check. He really slipped in the draft for some unknown reason.
He also has personality to him. This was a post game interview after they won 9-2.
