Is Jackson Lacombe becoming a #1 defenseman?

[SmokeyDuck]

That's a great video, paints a very accurate idea of why he is so good. Jumps in the offense so quickly, and handles transition defense very well. Panic mode doesn't set in anymore and he looks poised. He's not mistake free but he makes up for it plenty.

Cronin has been telling the rookies to stop worrying about mistakes. If you make mistakes make them attacking, not being indecisive or passive. Seems to have worked for a few of the rooks. Another point for LaCombe the other night.
