«I think his NHL future is bright. His career has been really good so far, and he's coming into his prime,» Montgomery said on the «NHL Wraparound Podcast.» «You look at how good he was for us in the playoffs this year after playing with some injuries during the year.»
Montgomery continued: «One thing you notice, that I really noticed is that every time I talked to him one-on-one, he was very honest about where he thought his play was. We talked a lot about consistency when Jake was on top of his game. Jake was a game breaker for us. He's someone that could change the momentum of a game in one or two shifts because of his tenacity, speed and skill.»
