points1 point ago   the team is assuming he's going to break out
of his offensive shell.  I don't know if that's necessarily
true. They could be expecting him to be a reliable shutdown guy.
I don't really know much about him as a player though.  EDIT:
Judging from his point totals in junior I don't think anyone in
management is expecting him to be an offensive force. They must
want him to be a 2-way guy like Dan Hamhuis or more of a
defensive guy
