Good move.

working player. He does not give any inch of the ice for free. He would leave
his soul there.

loves hockey and what he does.

stays for three hours on the ice after practice. He does all things. He,
Landeskog and Duchene are still on the ice.

likes playing with the puck. I often see him in the gym doing special things. He
works on issues on which many players forget.

worked hard. He expects maximum commitment from players.
