Yes he will continue to fight most challengers but if he could round out his overall game even slightly every off season he could be a menace of a power forward. Not saying he’s going to be Milan Lucic but if he’s committed to staying in the big leagues which I’m sure he is he could quickly become less of a reckless punk and more of a player gms stumble over themselves to replicate. I wasn’t a huge fan of his early in the season I will admit. I’m a caps fan so it’s tough to root for any Ranger but this kid is growing on me and I’d like to see him succeed.
