Well he's on a really good team so it's hard to say how much offense he is driving, but I can understand why they took him. Playing against McDavid and Strome in practice all the time will probably make you a pretty decent Defensive forward, and to boot he's bumped his numbers up a fair bit this year as well.

There were more flashy picks available, but he was a second rounder in the OHL which is pretty high, so there's probably some offensive upside there as well.

Stoked for him to get on the score sheet though, must feel good to contribute.

He'll have a much bigger role next year with the absence of Mcdavid and possibly Strome. His offensive numbers will explode next year, very toolsy; he could end up being a 5 tool guy in a 3rd line role.

I think he will really show his ability in the AHL. I'm glad they picked him he's definitely a gem in the rough. Being a 6th round pick you can't expect him to turn into anything, so it really is a bonus if he turns in anything. He kinda reminds me of Taylor Pyatt.

I thought he was a bit of a wasted pick at the time. Despite being a good defensive specialist with size, his complete lack of offense was alarming. Pretty much every defensive specialist in the NHL was able to score in junior.

That said, it looks like he has progressed even further on the defensive side while putting up respectable goal totals. Based on his trajectory, he could probably score 25 next year and work his way up through the ranks. Could be a solid 4th liner for us down the road.
