I will admit, I am surprised by his first season.
To your point, size, inexperience and the “rookie wall” that lots of NCAA players hit in the second half of the season had me wondering if he was better off in Laval for the first part of the season.
I am pretty excited to see how he and Demidov work together, they both seem like rink rats and love to work on their game.
Should be exciting next year.
