The hype with this guy has definitely faded.

 

Some people were acting like he was some elite prospect.

He went berserk in the Dub the year after he was drafted. 130 + points.

 

Canucks fans would have overeacted too if it was our prospect.  Imagine if Kole Lind did that?

Was outstanding at the WJHC too.  I still think he's got a good chance to be a legit 2nd line center if he's developed properly.

Yes, he was - and does.

I'd definitely take a chance on him if the opportunity to acquire him were there - although I'm not sure there's a fit here.

But he's smart, he's quick, he's creative, and he's a hard worker.

Hasn't broken out / produced much in Anaheim (18 g, 27 a in 129 games), so = past his expiration date.

 

Some things to really like though - not the least of which = he was already a very good faceoff guy (at age 22) going 52.8% this past season (with a decent sample of 450 draws) - and really, no reason to expect much more production of him in context.
