If he puts on 15 pounds he definitely can be a center. Especially since he’s on the PK, is pretty solid on faceoffs. He just needs to add weight, his tools are sharp just needs polishing and he should be a very solid top 6 center for the jets.
This injury to him in the preseason game hosting Ottawa was a crushing blow. Erik Brannstrom and Vlad Namestnikov and Josh Morrissey all checked to ensure that he was ok.
LOVE his NO FEAR style of play. Not afraid to take chances, hit players, etc... Going to be a Starter on the Jets somewhere along the way this season. Mark my words. One of the best draft picks ever by Winnipeg.
As a Habs fan, I really like his game except that he can't skate for beans. He got away with it till this point but in the NHL he won't. If he improves his skating, I think he could really help the Canadiens.
Fkn face shields! Imama created some space, then threw. That is why he won. Hard to land a decent shot when you are holding close and tight, thus you walk away bloodied in defeat, Bauer.
