This offseason, I spent even more time honing my offensive skills. After setting a career high in goals, assists and points last season, coach and Edmonton management saw the potential I had when they took me with the fourteenth overall pick in the draft. Now that they've seen what I can do, they want to know how much more I have left, and I want to prove to them that the best is absolutely left to come. I stopped doing faceoff drills all together, as I only took like fifteen faceoffs last season. That extra time was spent honing my offensive zone skills, but also my defensive game. I was a little bit of a defensive liability last season for the Blizzard and I want to be someone they can count on in all facets of the game. I've even heard that after my forty point outburst last season, there are some statistical eggheads out there that are predicting I could put up close to sixty points this season. That's why I'm working my ass off out here. I want to not only score those sixty points, but help my team by being a solid defender and not being as laissez faire with the puck.
