I think we just have no idea what 18year olds play like since it’s been so long since we’ve had one. Excuse the comparisons to guys like Crosby and McDavid - he’s not that - but this guy plays a lot like svechnikov last seasons and that guy had a pretty good sophomore season.
That said he’s been a bad roster player and he’s been carried by the team. I still think it’s worth the exposure but he certainly hasn’t been lighting the world on fire. The point is I don’t expect him to. He’s a kid still, a young kid, and needs time.
