It's actually the first gmae I saw from him in the NHL, so maybe that's why I was so impressed. I thought of him more like a role player for a few shifts, didn't expect to see him on every 2nd goal chance
I also saw that with the lack of cohesion as you mentioned, but I really think it's a matter of time, he's new to the team, the linemates, the league. Firstly, he has to bring his work on the ice, if the coach likes what he sees and keeps him, he can go further to connect with his linemates.
I really hope he can keep his position there, that transition to the better League was amazingly fast I thought, but that wasn't his limit yet.
