I watched you hit the ice in Stockton in 2015 on a PTO after your college season was over. In eight games, you had two goals and four assists. You quickly became my favorite player. That short sample size had me looking forward to your first full rookie year.
At the start of the 2015-16 season, you came into Stockton on a mission. You had a strong start to the season centering the top line. You played both power play and penalty kill minutes.
Based on your strong play, you were called up for five games in mid-November and made your NHL debut against the New York Islanders.
