I thought he looked great last night. "Spry" would be the word - when the puck hit his stick, I found he looked shot out of a cannon when he made his first move.
He had some Kirby Dach-itis where he was afraid to shoot the puck and always looked to defer to pass, specifically when generating with Kane. Not sure what is is about our young guys recently and being gunshy to shoot...
If he can be more assertive in that front (same as Dach) he could be special.
sort of been the theme for young players that are paired with kane even going back to panarin...his second year he was deferring a lot and it was probably good for his development to move to a new team where he was the guy...as far as kirby vs reichel, lukas seems to have another gear that dach doesn't have, and lukas seems to have better puck skills
