I don't think his progress has been as good as others in the 1st round of the 2017 draft, better then Foote but otherwise not as good as the others generally speaking. That said, hardly alarming as D guys take time. The kid just turned 21 so may need another year, but why not give him a chance next season?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>yep, I was actually going to propose him coming over as he and Marchenko before he was taken by columbus were on my 3c center list. For starters, he knows Matthews and Malgin which could influence his decision. Second this guy is an incredible center, He can win faceoffs regularly, can protect the puck to the point where u need to take a penalty to take it away, and in general is solid a center. With some Dubas magic I could honestly see him coming over and if we can move kerfoot, being a possible long term solution.</div></div>

Absolutely, look what he did with Lehtonen. No rumours of him coming to the Leafs, where all the attention lied to the Devils, Canadiens, Kings and Detroit. If he wants to make a name for himself, Toronto is the place to go.
