Drafted: 3 overall, 2014 round 1 (
EDM)
Contract: $68,000,000 over 8 years (Cap hit: $8,500,000)
One of the most elite players in the entire NHL
Big, strong, offensively gifted.
Picks teams apart on the PP. Scored 32G-30A with man advantage in (22/23)
Plays at his own pace. Size provides him advantage to shield defenders and use his length as an advantage. Fantastic puck touch.
Averaged 21:44 TOI last year - deployed in all situations
Defensive detail can range. There are nights he's late with his offensive zone exits. Given his production his (+7) rating is somewhat surprising.
At the end of the day his elite offensive talent wins out.
