7 preseason games and 12 regular season games have shown Daniel that having great physical attributes and play making skills were not the only skills needed to paving a path of greatness in hockey or life. The nineteen games have taught him to refine his overall game while appreciating the smaller things in life.

Taking extra practice, hitting the gym twice a day, eating healthy, contributing to the community, chores, appreciating family, having a "plan" and setting objectifs. The young man out of Quebec has learned and matured a great deal in the few months since leaving the nest he called home for 18 years. Cuddled and swaddled by parents no longer has pushed him to be an even better person, responsible and humble. With no distractions set forth before him, lies an opportunity for him to take and run with. As the saying goes, "sky is the limit".

Once thought and known purely on his offensive game will change sooner than later, ramping up his calorie intake and workout programs have shown an increase in strength and stamina. Left to see if that well affect in any way his offensive game! At the end of the journey we will benefit from this change and hopefully have achieved his goals or objectifs.
