Marty likes him and he might just be here to stay. I am not saying he should stay but maybe management might think he should be learning at the NHL level moving forward.The battle for Mailloux is going to be consistency on D and risk management in every zone. He is literally learning that aspect of the game on the spot. Will he internalize in such a way where it becomes almost second nature? I doubt it.
From that stand point, consistency is harder to come by.
But his offensive tools are undeniable. Great shot, great reach, some impressive vision for outlet passes.
I have a soft spot for redemption stories, cheering for him.
