Chicago Blackhawks announce a major signing and he will be joining the team immediately

It's definitely pretty cool. As a young player, that's kind of the perfect situation is the fact they're building young and put a lot of trust into the younger player. That's something that's obviously really good to see. It's pretty cool to be drafted with some of those guys, being friends with a lot of them, seeing them get the chance to play in the NHL is just really cool.

«He looks like a pro - his game overall, his details defensively. He can skate, coming through the neutral zone with speed, attacking with speed, better at protecting pucks. Just all the things that go into making you a good pro, he's really developed in all those areas in the last three years. He's taken a huge step this year. I like where his game's at. In practice sometimes, just the way he moves and the way he plays the game and has an understanding of the game, he looks like an NHL player.
