From a quick look at Hockey Reference, Milano has been given very skewed offensive zone deployment for his entire career, as high as 76% OZS last season. And I haven't watched Milano since his draft year but his profile was of a flashy skilled player who needed to round out his overall and defensive game.
Are we sure that those Evolving Hockey numbers aren't a mirage created by his heavy offensive zone usage?
I know players can adapt their games to carve out a role, but at first glance I'm not seeing the profile of a solid defensively responsible winger. I'm seeing a "sheltered third scoring line" winger, and I'd much rather see that position be given to one of the kids than Sonny Milano.
