Man, he’s been absolutely unreal this year. He’s playing with so much confidence and purpose, and I LOVE that he’s becoming more of a goal scorer. Makes him much harder to defend, trans are having to respect his shot more, which only opens up his passing lanes even more.
He’s also tied for the league lead in +/-, which is fun
Every part of his game is better really - better defensively, doing better in physical battles, improved shot and nose for the net, fewer bad turnovers, playing with more confidence, less wild and more constantly in control, just a beast. He’s really starting to look like Patrick Kane 2.0.
