Didn't play today, by the translation, sounds like he's being rested before the playoffs?

Are we talking Brett Murray level speed issues?I like how his game has evolved a bit over the course of the season. He gets inside and knows his game is around the net front. He's still solid along the wall and creating in traffic, but adding in some outright faceoff domination has been most welcome. For a stretch, Shawinigan was basically using him and one other player for all of their faceoffs and he was regularly ripping 60-75% out at the dot. He was sort of a hybrid center/RW for a time with Bourque out. And it worked.
He can still use additional speed/power in how he skates but we knew that when he was drafted. I've enjoyed watching what he can do and seeing how they are on to the third round of the Q playoffs is certainly nice.

It would be damn goodKinda got a Zack Hyman thing going on.
So where will he likely play next season?
He'll still be under 20 (by a whopping 15 days) so he's gonna be back in juniors.So where will he likely play next season?
No, he's not that slow. He doesn't have separation speed. Also more along the line of being average to a bit below - he sometimes has his feet planted instead of moving them toward the puck. I guess I would put him a couple slices above someone like Luke Adam?
