I also like his defensive play, skating, puck handling, getting back into the D zone, back checking, hitting, etc. He is young and still learning. I see a superstar emerging.When I watch him skate, he gives off Hossa vibes with those short powerful strides, hunched over, to generate separation.
But he plays the game like Spezza.
It's a fun combination.
We now need a "best in class" coaching staff, GM, scouts, and development staff to take this team to the next level: consistent playoff team.
