He put up 0.71 pts/gm as a rookie in the AHL and was a pt/gm player in the AHL in his short stint down there this year. Those are pretty solid numbers, but I know, don't confuse you with the facts.
He's big, he's fast, and he can shoot, so the tools are there. He lacks some hockey sense, especially defensively, but if he can ever figure it out, he could be a great player. I haven't lost hope.

I can respect that. I just have seen too many European floaters with tons of skill over many years of being an NHL fan. We will see..
