To me, he looks like a guy who has the American League in his sights ... From when he gets the puck there's a little jump that separates him. He has the possibility where he should be a point a game guy. He is creative. With confidence, you are going to see it coming out more.
I'd like to align myself with a winning organization, someone I trust, someone I like working with to be honest, preferably an American League team, just to become more familiar with that league
